Why Choose Pro Choice ProBullet EPOU Earplugs?

The ProBullet EPOU is designed to provide a straightforward disposable hearing-protection option for workplaces where employees need high-level noise attenuation combined with simple fitting and convenient replacement.

Key advantages include:

Class 5 Protection + Disposable PU Foam + Individual Packaging + 200-Pair Bulk Box

This makes the product well suited to workplaces where hearing protection is issued regularly to employees, contractors and visitors.

Class 5 Hearing Protection

The current Pro Choice product listing classifies the EPOU as:

Class 5. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

Class 5 is the highest hearing-protector class in the Australian SLC₈₀ classification system.

However, the highest attenuation product is not automatically the correct choice for every workplace. Hearing protection should be selected based on measured workplace noise levels and applicable hearing-conservation requirements.

Current SLC₈₀ 29dB Rating

Pro Choice's current 2026 website lists:

SLC₈₀ 29dB. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

The SLC₈₀ rating is an Australian/New Zealand measure used to assist with hearing-protector selection. Pro Choice explains that the rating includes a statistical correction so the stated attenuation is achieved on at least 80% of fitting occasions under the applicable test method. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

Actual attenuation achieved by an individual wearer depends on proper insertion and fit.

Specification Update Note – 29dB vs 27dB

There is a documented difference between current and older published data.

The current Pro Choice product webpage lists:

SLC₈₀ 29dB – Class 5. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

An earlier Pro Choice / Paramount Safety data sheet lists:

SLC₈₀ 27dB – Class 5. (Paramount Safety)

Because hearing-protection ratings are safety-critical, procurement teams should use the current rating marked on the supplied EPOU packaging and current certification documents rather than relying on archived literature.

AS/NZS 1270:2002

The EPOU is listed as compliant with:

AS/NZS 1270:2002 – Acoustical Hearing Protectors. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

This Australian/New Zealand standard provides the testing and classification framework used for occupational hearing protectors.

PU Foam Construction

The EPOU uses:

Disposable PU Foam. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

Foam earplugs are compressed before insertion and expand within the ear canal to create an acoustic seal.

The ProBullet design is intended as an economical option for workplaces where plugs are frequently changed or where hygiene makes reusable earplugs less practical.

Tapered ProBullet Shape

Pro Choice's detailed product literature describes the ProBullet design as having a:

Smooth Tapered Shape

for easier insertion into the ear canal. (Paramount Safety)

The tapered profile allows the compressed foam to be positioned into the ear canal before expanding.

High-Visibility Colour

Pro Choice's ProBullet literature identifies the plugs as:

Hi-Vis Orange

for easy visual identification and workplace compliance checks. (Paramount Safety)

This can help supervisors quickly identify whether workers in designated hearing-protection areas are wearing earplugs.

Suitable for Noise Levels up to 110dB(A)

Pro Choice lists the EPOU for hearing protection in noise environments up to:

110dB(A). (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

This figure assumes appropriate selection, correct fitting and the relevant workplace noise criterion.

Actual suitability should be determined from the workplace noise assessment rather than from the maximum figure alone.

Individually Poly-Bagged

Each pair is supplied in an:

Individual Poly Bag. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

Individual packaging helps keep unused earplugs clean before issue and is particularly practical for:

• Site PPE stores

• Visitor PPE kits

• Crib rooms

• Workshops

• Toolboxes

• Service vehicles

• Contractor induction areas

Box of 200 Pairs

The standard EPOU box contains:

200 Pairs. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

This bulk format is suitable for high-use workplaces where disposable hearing protection is consumed regularly.

Full Carton Quantity

Pro Choice lists:

10 Boxes per Carton

which equates to:

2,000 Pairs per Full Carton. (Pro Choice Safety Gear)

Full-carton purchasing can be practical for mine sites, construction projects, manufacturing plants and other organisations with substantial hearing-protection requirements.

Disposable Hearing Protection

The EPOU is intended as a:

Disposable Earplug

rather than a reusable hearing-protection product.

Disposable earplugs can be particularly useful when:

• Hygiene is important

• Multiple workers require plugs

• Earplugs become heavily soiled

• Frequent replacement is required

• Visitors and contractors require hearing protection

Correct Fit Is Essential

The protection provided by any foam earplug depends on achieving a suitable fit.

A poorly inserted Class 5 earplug can provide substantially less protection than expected.

Users should be trained in:

• Rolling the plug correctly

• Straightening the ear canal before insertion

• Inserting the plug sufficiently deeply

• Holding it in place while the foam expands

• Checking that both plugs are properly seated

General Foam Earplug Fitting Method

Always follow the current Pro Choice fitting instructions. A typical roll-down foam procedure involves:

1. Roll the earplug into a narrow, crease-free cylinder.

2. Reach over the head with the opposite hand.

3. Pull the ear upward and outward.

4. Insert the compressed earplug into the ear canal.

5. Hold it in place while the foam expands.

6. Check the fit before entering the noise area.

Hearing Protection Selection

Hearing protection should be selected using the workplace noise assessment.

Factors include:

• Noise level

• Duration of exposure

• Frequency characteristics

• Hearing-protector rating

• Communication requirements

• Compatibility with other PPE

• Worker fit

• Comfort

• Workplace procedures

Excessive attenuation may also create communication and situational-awareness issues, so PPE selection should match the actual hazard.

Compatibility with Other PPE

Uncorded foam earplugs can be useful where employees simultaneously wear:

• Hard hats

• Safety glasses

• Face shields

• Welding helmets

• Respirators

• Protective clothing

Because the plugs sit within the ear canal, they generally avoid the headband interference sometimes associated with earmuffs.

All PPE should still be assessed together for compatibility.

Storage & Handling

For best condition:

• Keep unused plugs in their individual packaging

• Store in a clean, dry location

• Protect from workplace dirt and chemicals

• Avoid crushing or contaminating the foam

• Use clean hands when fitting

• Dispose of heavily contaminated or damaged plugs

• Follow workplace hearing-protection procedures
