Custom Ear Plugs Perth

If you work a Perth roster you already know the problem with foam earplugs. They go in at the start of shift, they work loose by morning tea, and half the crew has them hanging around their neck by lunch. Protection you take out is protection that isn't working.

Hearsafe makes custom-moulded earplugs from an impression of your own ear. They seal properly, they stay where you put them, and because they are comfortable, people actually leave them in.

Why Perth is different

Western Australia carries the heaviest concentration of high-noise work in the country. Pilbara iron ore, gold operations through the Goldfields, LNG and offshore support out of the north west, heavy fabrication through Kwinana and Henderson, and the FIFO workforce that moves between all of it.

That pattern creates a specific problem. A worker on a two-and-one roster is exposed to damaging noise for long, uninterrupted stretches, then goes home and tries to sleep during the day. We supply hearing protection for both halves of that, and plenty of our Perth customers end up with a work set and a sleep set.

What you get with a custom set

• A proper seal. Moulded to your ear canal, so attenuation matches the rating rather than leaking around a poor fit.
• Class 3, 4 and 5 protectors. We match the class to your measured noise exposure rather than defaulting everyone to maximum attenuation.
• Comfort under PPE. Low-profile options and mini grips that sit under a hard hat or helmet without pressure points.
• Communication options. Elacin RC earplugs connect to two-way radio and phone, so nobody pulls a plug out to take a call.
• A 5 year extended warranty, plus a 30 day warranty on fit.

Getting your impressions taken in Perth

Individuals book an appointment with one of our partnered audiologists or registered nurses. The impression itself takes about 15 minutes, and it is the only part you have to turn up for.

For teams, our fitters come to your site or depot and work through the crew in one visit, including fit testing on the spot. That suits a shutdown window or an induction day far better than sending people off site one at a time.

Production runs 10 to 15 working days from the time we receive your impressions. Every set is individually labelled, and we keep a digital copy of your impressions for two years, so reordering later does not mean starting again.

Does it actually save money?

Over a year, a crew working through disposable foam costs more than most safety managers expect, and that is before you count the compliance risk of protection that is not being worn properly. Our cost saving calculator runs the numbers against your own headcount and usage.

How long do custom earplugs last?

The plugs themselves last for years. We recommend fresh impressions every four years or so, because ear canals change shape over time and a set that fitted perfectly in 2022 may have started to leak by now.

Can I use them for anything besides work?

Yes, and most people do. The same moulding process produces sleep earplugs, motorcycle earplugs, swim plugs and musicians earplugs — different filters, same fit.

What if I only need one side?

Single-sided sets are available. Give us a call to order, as it is not something we can process through the website.
