*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-R™ TaperFit™ 2 Earplugs feature a tapered design to help fit easily and comfortably into the ear. This earplug model is made of a soft, slow-recovery foam that also helps make insertion easier.

Slow-recovery foam helps make insertion easier by giving the wearer time to get the compressed foam cylinder (rolled down earplug) into the ear before the foam fully expands. Available in size regular and large. Corded or uncorded options to suit user preference. This product is EARfit testable to help validate the level of protection the individual user is getting.
