Permanent hearing loss happens gradually, but the damage is real. SAS Safety Corp.® provides hearing protection solutions that are comfortable to wear, easy to use, and built to meet the demands of noisy worksites. At South Coast Fasteners, Inc., we offer a full line of SAS Safety earplugs and earmuffs to help crews across industries stay compliant and protected without losing focus on the task at hand. Whether you need something for short-term site visits or all-day wear in noisey zones, we have the right products available and ready to go.

This page gives is a resource in giving you a complete overview of our hearing protection lineup. If you're not sure what type is best for your application, our team is here to help and our online store is open 24/7/365 to support your schedule.

Earplugs

Earplugs offer a low-profile and lightweight options for hearing protection that fits directly in or around the earl. SAS offers multiple styles for different preferences and use, whether you need disposable options for rotating crews or reusable silicone plugs for frequent users. All SAS earplugs meet ANSI S3.19 standards for noise reduction.

  • Banded Ear Caps: The solution for workers who need to remove and reinsert protection throughout the day. The band sits around the neck when not in use, making them ideal for inspection staff, warehouse teams, or supervisors walking the jobsite.
  • Corded Foam Ear Plugs: Soft and disposable plugs connected by a cord to prevent loss and make removal easy. These conform to the shape of the ear canal for a secure fit and provide solid noise reduction in loud environments.
  • Corded Silicone Ear Plugs: Designed for reuse, these plugs offer greater dependability and are easier to clean than foam. The soft silicone provides comfort and a consistent seal without degradation over time.
  • Foam Ear Plugs- Blister Pack: Individually packaged for your sanitary distribution. A great choice for stocking safety stations, visitor kits, or general use where quick access and hygiene are essential.
  • Silicone Ear Plugs: Non-corded, reusable, and shaped for comfort. These are best for steady wear in low-noise environments or for users who prefer a soft, flexible plug over foam alternatives.

Earmuffs

When the job gets loud and stays loud, earmuffs provide full-coverage hearing protection with minimal adjustment and excellent durability. SAS offers multiple earmuff options built for different roles, noise levels, and jobsite needs. All SAS earmuffs are ANSI S3.19-compliant and designed to fit securely without pinching or slipping, even during movement.

  • Foldable Earmuffs: Designed for convenience, these earmuffs collapse into a compact form for easy storage in tool bags, lockers, or vehicles. Perfect for mobile crews or jobs where space is key.
  • Professional Earmuffs: Engineered for high noise environments, these earmuffs feature padded headbands, adjustable ear cups, and excellent noise blocking. The top pick for construction, manufacturing, and power tools.
  • Standard Earmuffs: Reliable protection for general use. Lightweight and comfortable enough for full-shift wear and they’re a smart choice for warehouse workers, site visitors, or anyone needing consistent hearing protection without any added bulk.

FAQs: Hearing Protection

What’s the difference between foam and silicone earplugs?

  • Foam earplugs expand in the ear canal and are often disposable, making them great for one-time or high-turnover use. Silicone plugs are reusable, easier to clean, and hold their shape longer, offering consistent fit over time.

Are earmuffs better than earplugs?

  • It depends on the application. Earmuffs are easier to put on and take off, and provide a more consistent seal—especially in environments where hands might be dirty or gloved. Earplugs are more discreet and may be more comfortable in hot conditions.

Do these products meet safety standards?

  • Yes. All SAS hearing protection sold by South Coast Fasteners meets or exceeds ANSI S3.19 noise reduction standards and is suitable for OSHA-compliant safety programs.

Can I wear earplugs under earmuffs?

  • Yes, combining both is called “dual protection” and is recommended in extremely high-noise environments where one layer alone doesn’t provide sufficient reduction.

How do I know which Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) I need?

  • The higher the NRR, the greater the sound attenuation. Most general-purpose use cases are covered by products in the 22–30 dB range. For louder environments like demolition, heavy equipment, or engine rooms, opt for higher-rated earmuffs or dual protection.
