*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

3M™ E-A-Rsoft™ FX Earplugs have a large bell shape of soft foam for a comfortable fit with a flared end for easy removal. This earplug model is made of a soft, slow-recovery foam that also helps make insertion easier. Additionally, these earplugs have 3M's maximum noise reduction rating for hearing protection.

3M™ E-A-Rsoft™ FX Earplugs' slow-recovery foam gives the user time to insert the compressed foam cylinder (rolled down earplug) into the ear before the foam expands to fill the ear canal. Available with or without cord to suit user preference, this product is EARfit testable to help validate the level of protection the individual user is getting.
