I have been asked to look into a hearing protection product called 'Docs Pro Plugs'. They're not common place to the UK, and are normally associated with water sports, but wondered if anyone had any experience of them in the workplace? Thanks

Hearing protection in the workplace is primarily for protecting people from noise. If these are not designed and certified to do this, then they should not be used. A quick google suggests that they are for keeping dirty water out of the ears.
