Heavy Industry Protection
Heavy Industry Protection: Custom Hearing Solutions That Actually Work
Let’s face it—working in heavy industry is no walk in the park. From the roar of jackhammers to the nonstop clatter of machinery, noise is a constant companion. But here’s the thing: just because it’s part of the job doesn’t mean it should damage your hearing. That’s where we come in. At Pacific Ears Australia, we specialise in Heavy Industry Protection that’s tough, smart, and comfortable enough to wear all day long (yes, even on those 12-hour shifts).
Why Noise on the Job Isn’t Just Annoying—It’s Dangerous
If you’re surrounded by screaming engines, grinding metal, or booming tools, your ears are taking a beating. Prolonged exposure to noise above 85 decibels? That can cause permanent hearing damage—no joke. We’re talking tinnitus, hearing loss, fatigue, and even higher accident risks because you missed a shout or warning beep. Not ideal.
Australia’s health and safety standards are strict for a reason. Employers are expected to provide the right protection, and workers deserve gear that doesn’t just "tick the box"—it actually works. That’s where our custom hearing protection comes in. It’s not just compliant. It’s comfortable, durable, and made to handle the chaos of heavy industry. Â
The Right Protection for the Right Job
No two job sites are alike—and neither are your ears. That’s why those generic, one-size-fits-all earplugs often fall short. They might look fine on paper, but in the real world? They shift, slip, or just don’t seal properly. Ear canals vary wildly from person to person, and even a small gap can mean big drops in protection. That’s why we offer professionally fitted, custom-moulded earplugs—because real protection starts with a real fit.
PACS Pro31: Custom Class 5 Earplugs
Working around seriously loud gear? The PACS Pro31 is your best mate. Built for extreme industrial noise, it delivers certified Class 5 protection and is specifically engineered for high-decibel environments like mining and heavy construction. While we don’t claim it tops every spec chart, it’s definitely one of the toughest options in our PACS range. With its custom-moulded fit, it stays put under helmets and PPE and keeps you shielded from damaging sound—without cutting you off from reality entirely.
PACS Pro27 Earplugs
Need to block out the chaos but still stay alert? The PACS Pro27 has your back. With a Class 5 rating and an acoustic filter that keeps sound distortion-free, it’s ideal for heavy machinery, motorsport pits, and aviation hangars. You’ll hear what you need—minus the damaging stuff.
PACS Pro26 Earplugs
Not all loud is created equal. The PACS Pro26 hits the sweet spot for environments where speech clarity matters just as much as protection. Think factory floors, aircraft maintenance, or live event setups. You get a flatter frequency response, a secure custom fit, and clearer communication, even in the thick of it.
Pro Communicator Heavy Duty
Ever tried shouting into a radio over a diesel engine? Yeah, it’s about as effective as yelling into the wind. The Pro Communicator Heavy Duty changes the game. It combines PACS Pro27-level protection with clear, high-quality communication, so you can actually hear—and be heard—on the job. Whether you're a crane operator coordinating lifts or a team lead directing traffic on a noisy site, this gear keeps you connected without sacrificing your hearing. Rugged, reliable, and built to take a beating, it’s everything you need in one powerful package.
