3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs are constructed from slow-recovery, low-pressure foam. They fit snugly to create a noise barrier helping protect hearing from loud sounds. They are stiff enough when compressed to make fitting easy, yet soft enough to be comfortable for extended wear. Recommended applications include chipping, chiseling, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, sanding, sawing and welding. Commonly used in the following industries: agriculture, automotive, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB, CSA Class AL.* *Note: 3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that many users will receive less noise reduction than indicated by the NRR due to variation in hearing protector fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. If the NRR is used, 3M recommends that it be reduced by 50% or in accordance with applicable regulations.
