How to use

Roll the foam ear plug between thumb and forefinger to compress it to a narrow cylinder, then reach over the top of your head with the opposite hand to pull your ear up and back to straighten the ear canal. Insert the compressed plug gently into the ear canal and hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the foam to expand and create a seal. Check the fit by ensuring the plug is seated properly and that noise levels are reduced. Replace plugs after a single shift or sooner if they become dirty or damaged.

Recommendations

Use these ear plugs in accordance with your workplace hearing protection program. Verify fit and attenuation as part of routine safety checks, store unopened packs in a clean, dry place, and dispose of used plugs responsibly. If extended wear, unusual discomfort, or changes in hearing occur, consult a safety officer or medical professional.
