The 3M™ E-A-R™ Classic Earplugs are a trusted solution for dependable hearing protection in noisy environments. Made from slow-recovery foam, these cylindrical earplugs conform gently to the shape of the ear canal, providing consistent comfort and reliable noise reduction throughout the workday. Ideal for single-use applications, they’re compatible with 3M’s fit testing systems to confirm proper attenuation in real-world conditions.

• Consistent Seal: Cylindrical design ensures a stable and repeatable fit across a wide range of ear canal shapes
• High Noise Reduction: Delivers a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB (CSA Class AL) for effective protection in high-noise areas
• Universal Fit: One-size-fits-most design simplifies distribution and minimizes selection errors
• Comfortable Material: Made with low-pressure, moisture-resistant foam that expands slowly to reduce pressure in the ear
• Durable in Humid Conditions: Performs reliably in warm, moist, or variable environments
• Fit-Test Ready: Compatible with the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Dual-Ear Validation System to help verify actual attenuation for each user
• Single-Use Design: Disposable and hygienic — ideal for daily replacement or shared PPE environments
• Optional Packaging: Also available in “pillow pack” packaging for convenient, clean storage before use
• The NRR rating is based on laboratory testing. Actual protection in the field may be lower depending on fit and usage. For conservative planning, a 50% reduction of the labeled NRR is often recommended.
• Proper insertion technique (roll, insert, hold) is essential to achieving full noise attenuation.
• As these are uncorded and disposable, they are best suited for environments where loss or replacement of individual earplugs is not a concern.
• For best results, ensure workers receive training on proper fit and insertion methods.
