Product Overview
Protecting your hearing in high-decibel environments is a fundamental requirement of site safety, and the Easy Fit TPR Corded Ear Plugs offer a reliable, professional solution. Constructed from soft yet resilient Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), these reusable plugs are engineered for professionals who require consistent protection throughout a full working day. Unlike disposable alternatives, these ear plugs are designed for longevity and hygiene, arriving in an individual container to ensure they remain clean and effective when stored in a pocket or toolbox.
Key Features
- Reusable TPR Construction: The soft Thermoplastic Rubber material is durable enough for repeated use, providing a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to single-use foam plugs.
- Integrated Safety Cord: The attached cord allows the plugs to rest around your neck when not in use, significantly reducing the risk of loss or contamination from being dropped on a workshop floor.
- Hygienic Storage Container: Each pair is supplied in its own dedicated case, protecting the plugs from dust and debris while ensuring they remain sanitary for your next shift.
- Certified Protection: Compliant with EN 352-2 standards with an SNR of 28dB, providing high-level attenuation to safeguard your hearing against sustained industrial noise.
Design & Performance
The design focus of the EP22 is centered on user comfort during prolonged wear. The TPR material is exceptionally lightweight and flexible, allowing the plugs to contour to the ear canal without exerting excessive pressure. This ensures a secure seal that remains comfortable even during high-activity tasks. The triple-flange design assists in an easy insertion process and a stable fit, while the bright orange colour ensures high visibility, aiding compliance checks on busy sites.
Why No Customisation?
As these ear plugs are classified as essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), they are sold without customisation. To maintain the hygienic properties and the integrity of the TPR material, we do not offer printing or branding on this item. Modifications could potentially interfere with the fit and the safety certifications that ensure your hearing remains protected.
Use Cases
These ear plugs are an essential requirement for individuals working in construction, aviation, or heavy manufacturing. They are particularly well-suited for mechanics, welders, and tree surgeons who move frequently between high-noise zones and quieter areas, where the corded design proves invaluable for quick removal and replacement.
Why MyWorkwear

We understand that PPE is not just a checkbox; it is a vital part of your daily professional life, and we only stock products that meet our rigorous standards for durability and performance.
Practical Advice
To achieve the stated noise reduction levels, ensure the ear plugs are inserted correctly by reaching over your head to pull the top of your ear upwards before inserting the plug. This straightens the ear canal and allows for a more effective seal. Always check the plugs for signs of wear or hardening before use.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety standards of your reusable ear plugs, regular cleaning is essential. We recommend cleaning the TPR plugs after every shift using mild soap and warm water. This prevents the build-up of earwax and debris, which can cause skin irritation and degrade the material over time.
Ensure the plugs are completely air-dried before placing them back into their hygienic container. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these will cause the Thermoplastic Rubber to become brittle and lose its flexible properties, ultimately compromising the seal and your protection.
