Corded Ear Plugs

Ear plugs with connecting cord to prevent loss in the workplace.

Corded ear plugs combine reliable hearing protection with a simple safeguard against loss. The cord holds both plugs together and can be worn around the neck. When noise levels change, the plugs can be taken out briefly and hang within reach instead of ending up in pockets or on the floor.

The range includes anatomically shaped PU foam plugs with a polyester cord and SNR 34 dB to EN 352-2, plugs with SNR 33 dB, and a metal-detectable, blue version with SNR 32 dB for the food industry. Every corded model is EN-certified and carries CE marking.

Typical applications

  • Workplaces with fluctuating noise levels
  • Maintenance and walk-rounds through noisy areas
  • Food production with foreign-body control
  • Construction and assembly where protection is often removed
  • Logistics and loading

What to look for when buying

Where plugs are frequently removed and reinserted, the cord prevents loss and contamination. In the food industry, the metal-detectable blue version is the right choice, as a lost plug is easy to spot and is listed as metal-detectable.

Attenuation ranges from 32 to 34 dB; choose according to the noise exposure set out in your risk assessment. Pack sizes: 200 pairs per box for the SNR 34 model, 100 pairs per box for the others. Minimum orders are 200 and 100 units respectively.
