3M E-A-R Push-Ins Uncorded Earplugs - Blue and Yellow

The 3M E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System assesses the amount of attenuation provided to a user of hearing protection. The 3M E-A-R Push-Ins Earplugs are designed for hearing protection on noisy jobs. Fitting stems help for an easier insertion of the earplugs even when wearing gloves and help keep the earplug clean for workers with dirty hands. No roll-down required–all it takes is a gentle push to insert the soft foam eartip into the ear canal. The EARform eartip has a smooth surface to help it slide easily into the ear canal.

U.S. EPA specifies the NRR as the measure of hearing protector noise reduction. However, 3M makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR for this purpose. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations or guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. It is recommended that the NRR be reduced by 50% to better estimate typical protection.
