E-a-r offers earplugs in a range of sizes to ensure a good fit. To find the right size, roll the earplug between your fingers and insert it into the ear canal. The earplug should fit snugly without being uncomfortable, and should not fall out.
Earplugs are inserted directly into the ear canal and provide protection by blocking sound waves. Earmuffs, on the other hand, are worn over the ear and use a combination of insulation and absorption to reduce noise levels.
E-a-r earplugs are designed to be worn for extended periods of time, with many models featuring a comfortable foam design. Check the packaging for specific recommendations on how long you can wear your earplugs for at a time.
Earplugs cannot block out all sound, as some frequencies can still get through. However, E-a-r earplugs are designed to reduce sound levels to a safe level and are effective at blocking out a range of noise frequencies.
Some E-a-r earplugs are designed to be reused, while others are designed for one-time use only. Check the packaging for specific instructions on the earplugs you have purchased.
