Hearing protection: the most underestimated health concern
All-round hearing protection needs to reflect the demands of each job. Custom fit ear plugs with interchangeable filters are part of the mining equation.
In hearing protection, prevention is the only option. Hearing Loss is irreversible.

About Pacific Ears and ACS
Pacific Ears (Australia) is an Australian based company dedicated to hearing conservation and the manufacture of custom-fit products for hearing protection and high quality audio. Pacific Ears is the sole license holder, manufacturer and supplier of the ACS Custom range in Australia.
The ACS PRO Series earplugs created a new era in level attenuating hearing protection. The PRO Series are vented to allow sound to pass both ways which means that remaining sound can escape directly through the filter providing one of the most natural sounding earplugs available.
High-Performance Hearing Solutions for the Mining Industry
You do not get used to noise, you gradually lose your hearing…
Every day, millions of people around the world are exposed to noise at work and all the risks this can entail. One in five European workers have to raise their voices to be heard for at least half of the time they are at work and 7% suffer from work-related hearing difficulties. Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is the most common reported occupational disease in general but in mining in particular.
Hearing Protection: The Main Reasons for Non-Compliance
Discomfort and over attenuation (damping) are two of the main factors that result in incorrect fitting and use of hearing protection, especially when using disposable foam ear plugs or earmuffs. ACS Pro filters provide a large open air passage into the ear so minimising occlusion (blocked up sensation) and keeping the ear ventilated for the ultimate in user comfort.
Noise in Motorsport
Measurements taken by the Occupational Health and Safety Authorities show that at a speed of only 80 km/h the sound level under the helmet is over 90 decibels. Safe levels are 85 decibels and under.
