3M™ E-A-R™ Push-Ins™ SofTouch™ corded foam earplugs feature 3M™ E-A-Rform™ Foam, engineered for all-day comfort and hearing protection, this foam adjusts to the shape of the earcanal, helping to create a noise-reducing seal.

3M™ E-A-R™ Push-Ins™ SofTouch™ corded earplugs feature a push-to-fit design with a flexible stem to help keep the soft foam tip clean, even when hands are dirty. There is no need to roll the foam before fitting. Our earplugs are packaged in a poly bag to keep them clean prior to use. Recommended applications include assembly and mechanical, chipping, chiseling, cleaning, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, metal repair, painting, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding, sawing and welding. Not only is noise present in our daily routines and recreational activities, but millions of Americans work in hazardous noise on a daily basis. Estimates from the National Institutes of Health suggest that approximately 15 percent of Americans (26 million people) between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to noise at work or during leisure activities. Hearing loss due to noise is almost entirely preventable by judicious use of hearing protection.
