Exposure to loud noises can permanently damage your ears.
The louder the noise, for greater lengths of time, the greater the risk of hearing damage.

Snugs Custom-Fit Earplugs provides the best acoustic seal and maximum sound blockage, thus allowing for longer, safer exposure time to loud noises.

Noise protection is an important consideration as it is law that an employer supplies ear defenders or ear plugs to workers exposed to 80 decibels or more of noise. Employers are liable in many jurisdictions if the employees damage their hearing.

We manufacture and supply the best noise protection to help ensure companies conform to the noise at work act regulations.

Comparing different products on the market can be difficult. The higher the NRR number in USA or SNR in Europe, the greater the potential for noise reduction. However, the security of fit and canal seal in a real world situation will alter the rating which is why Snugs custom-fit have a more reliable rating than universal fit or foam earplugs.

For Employers: 

Snugs Industrial Hearing Protection is custom fit for maximum comfort, particularly in prolonged use. Fit security ensures maximum hearing protection rating performance. Also ensure dirt, dust, liquids as well as noise don’t get into your workers ears. We offer repeatable attenuation levels and performance across a team.

There is considerable cost saving with buying Snugs against foam earplugs. To verify the cost saving yourself, use our Cost Saving Calculator

Situation appropriate sound attenuation can be created by fitting filters with different levels of noise isolation for different applications.
Defend against hazardous noises while allowing the wearer to hear instructions and warning signals.

Noise can permanently damage hearing by a single brief exposure to a loud noise, such as an explosion. Hearing damage can also occur gradually at much lower levels of noise. To protect hearing, exposure to high acoustic levels should be limited giving ears the chance to recover.

Ear defenders are often not worn correctly, or continuously, if they are uncomfortable. Our industrial hearing protection can be worn for long periods without any discomfort. They last for years and are a cost-effective way for health and safety conscious employers to deal with the high noise levels of industrial environments.

From experience we have found that supplying the best earplugs means users will wear them.

Hearing protectors must be tested and approved in the USA by the the American National Standards (ANSI) and CE certified in Europe.

Noise Reduction Ratings Explained:  Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is a unit of measurement used to determine the effectiveness of hearing protection devices to decrease sound exposure within a given working environment. Classified by their potential to reduce noise in decibels (dB), a term used to categorise the power or density of sound.

Snugs tips are custom-fitted to match the unique shape and size of your ears and as such our returns policy may differ from that commonly offered with non-custom fit products. We offer a 30-day remake policy, where we will adjust the size and remake your Snugs tips, so they fit better. In most cases, this works out great for our customers. However, if you’re still not satisfied, then we’ll be happy to offer you a refund or gift card.

If you use your Snugs in the gym or onstage a lot, there will likely be a build-up of natural oils. If this is the case, you can then wash them in hand-hot soapy water (washing up liquid works best), and allow them to dry naturally. You can also wipe over the drivers with an alcoholic wipe to remove the natural oils. Do not use anything abrasive when cleaning your Snugs as this may damage the silicone.

If you are not happy with the fit of your Snugs e.g. you would like a tighter fit for instance, we are able to make adjustments and remake them for you. This is included as part of Snugs Fit Guarantee - just let us know within 30 days of receipt of your Snugs if you would like some changes to be made

We are able to change your order details, including colour choice and product, providing your Snugs are not in manufacturing (you will receive an order notification when your Snugs are being made).

If you would like to amend you order once your Snugs are in manufacturing, this will incur a charge of £30

No, you only need to visit an Audiologist once to have your ear impressions taken. Once we have your impressions, we will scan them to create a 3D file which can be used to make you multiple pairs of custom fit Snugs for your ears

Yes, we will save your correctly fitting ear files and reprint your Snugs for you. You can order a single replacement or a pair here

All Snugs are made from medical-grade silicone which will sit comfortably in your ear

Noise is measured in decibels (dB) and the louder the environment, the greater level of protection you will need.

So, if you work/perform in a very noisy environment, we recommended choosing the filter with the highest dB reduction rate. If you're struggling to decide which one you need, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you

Yes, we are able to make Snugs for customers based in the USA and Canada. The process is the same as the UK:

• Order the product you would like online
• Visit your local Audiologist to have your ear impressions taken
• Send them to our USA address where they will be processed and scanned to create your 3D ear files
• We will make your custom moulds and ship them to you in the USA or Canada

Once you have ordered and sent your ear impressions, we will store your 3D files which can be used to make multiple pairs of custom fit products. So you only need to get custom fit at the Audiologist once.
