Douglas A. Pick has earned the gratitude of two groups.

The first is women finally able to catch a good night’s sleep despite snoring husbands thanks to Pick’s brand of earplugs.

The second is the 220 workers with mental and physical disabilities paid to package and ship those instruments of relief.

“My earplugs are saving marriages,” said Pick, 40, who runs the $5.5 million enterprise called DAP World Inc. from his Sherman Oaks home.

DAP sells some 17 million pairs of earplugs annually through major retail chains such as Wal-Mart and Target. Nearly half of them are a brand called Sleep Pretty in Pink, which Pick describes as “pink and ideal for women’s smaller ear canals.”

The kicker is that the workers are provided by New Horizons, a North Hills-based non-profit that serves clients suffering from mental and physical disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, paralysis and blindness.

The workers are paid from a few cents to up to $1.50 for each retail display package assembled, with New Horizons receiving an equal amount for its warehousing and other services.

“(Pick) pushes for perfection and that makes us better,” said Doug Cone, business development manager of the non-profit. “He helps them become more independent by earning salaries through the work that he gives.”
