Acoustical Check
In a noisy environment, with earplugs inserted,
cup your hands over your ears and release.
Earplugs should block enough noise so that
covering your ears with your hands does not
result in a significant noise difference.
Removal
Gently twist earplug
while slowly pulling in
an outward motion for
removal.
Proper Fit
If either or both
earplugs do not seem
to be fitted properly,
remove the earplug
and reinsert.

gently pull top of your ear up and back.

back when fitting as shown.
In a noisy environment, lightly press the band inward
with your fingertips as shown. You should not notice a
significant difference in noise level.

at you from the front.
