- *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™ No-Touch™ Earplugs combine the comfort of ultra soft foam with the precision of push-to-fit hearing protection. A firm paddle grip helps with insertion of the foam ear tip into the ear canal. Not having to touch the ear tips to insert them into the ears helps the ear tips stay clean longer.
- Push-to-fit style means no earplug roll down required
- Soft purple foam is fused with the LiveWire stem.
- Foam tips stay clean, even when your hands are dirty.
- Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)*: 29 dB. CSA Class AL
