Homework in the living room, exam prep in the library or a home office next to a construction site: if you want to concentrate, you need quiet. Hearing protection reduces voices, street noise and sounds in the room so you stay on task while studying and working. SCHALLWERK offers earmuffs and earplugs for children, teenagers and adults.

Kiddies is the earmuff for children up to 16 years with a head circumference of 52 to 60 cm. It reaches an SNR of 28 dB (H 33 / M 25 / L 18) to EN 352-1:2020, weighs 188 g and is quick to put on, for example for quiet work in the classroom or at the desk at home.

Kids+ are earplugs for children with an SNR of 29 dB to EN 352-2:2020. They are small, fit in the pencil case and suit school, study sessions and rides on the school bus.

Strong+ are earplugs for teenagers and adults with an SNR of 23 dB to EN 352-2:2020. They reduce ambient noise while still letting speech through. Work+ is the earmuff with SNR 33 dB to EN 352-1:2020 for anyone who wants as much quiet as possible while studying or working. Soft+ completes the range with 12 silicone earplugs and SNR 27 dB.

How to choose: for short study sessions and on the go, earplugs are practical. For longer sessions at the desk, earmuffs are more comfortable because nothing sits in the ear and you can take them off at any time. Children should try the hearing protection at home first and wear it for a few minutes before using it at school.

Tip for everyday studying: set fixed study blocks with hearing protection, for example 25 minutes, and take it off during breaks. That keeps wearing it comfortable and gives your hearing a rest in between. Clean earplugs after use with mild soap and water and wipe earmuff cushions with a damp cloth. Keep plugs in their case and earmuffs dry so they last.

Frequently asked questions

Which hearing protection suits school?

For children up to 16 years, Kiddies as earmuffs or Kids+ as earplugs are suitable. Both are tested to EN 352.

Will my child still hear the teacher?

Hearing protection reduces noise but does not switch it off completely. Direct speech remains audible with Kids+ and Kiddies, but it is best to take them off briefly when something is being explained.

What is the difference between earmuffs and earplugs for studying?

Earmuffs sit on the ear, are quick to put on and take off and are comfortable for long sessions. Earplugs are smaller and fit in any bag.

Which hearing protection for home office and university?

Strong+ for everyday use with SNR 23 dB, or Work+ as earmuffs with SNR 33 dB if you want as much quiet as possible.
