Information About Disposable Ear Plugs


Ear plugs come in a variety of styles, shapes and colors.  Some can be washed and worn again.  Others, however, are disposable and are meant to be used only once.  Disposable ear plugs are used to keep out loud noises and other things (like water) and are thrown away when removed.  Almost all ear plugs these days are disposable and very affordable.  Even though they are inexpensive, they do what they are supposed to – and, they do it well.

Ear plugs are worn for a variety of reasons and in a number of different environments.  Workers in industrial plants need ear protection while doing their jobs.  These workers often are exposed to loud noises on a daily basis and for long periods of time.  Workers in loud factories usually prefer disposable plugs for their ears because they are so convenient and can be purchased in large quantities. 

Ear plugs are also used by people who sleep with a “snorer” or by the “snorer” himself.  Hunters and people who shoot firearms need ear plugs to protect their ears during shooting sessions.  People who drive loud vehicles such as motorcycles and snow mobiles also need added protection against loud noises.  Ear plugs that can be disposed of easily are often the choice of people who want to protect their hearing no matter what. 

Disposable plugs are generally made out of foam or a foam-like material.  They are rolled into a cylindrical shape and then easily inserted into the ear canal.  Once they are inside the ear, they expand to fit neatly around the canal’s contours.  This seals off the opening and prevents loud noises from entering the ear.  There are other varieties of disposable plugs also.  Silicone-based ear plugs form a seal inside the ear canal that reduces noise from the outside.  These ear plugs not only keep out sound, they also keep out water so they are the choice of many swimmers.     

Disposable ear plugs are great ways to protect against hearing loss.  They are convenient, inexpensive and very comfortable to wear.   Best of all, they are hardly noticeable so that children, as well as adults, don’t mind wearing them at all!
