Keys to Successful Hearing Protection with Earplugs
Reach over your head with a free hand, pull your
ear up and back, and insert the earplug well inside
your ear canal.
While holding the stem, reach a hand over your head
and gently pull top of your ear up and back.
Position band under your chin as shown above.
Use your hands to press the ear pods well into the
ear canal using an inward motion.
With clean hands, roll the entire earplug into narrowest
possible crease-free cylinder.
Earplugs should be inserted as shown in this
drawing. Stop pushing earplug when your finger
touches your ear.
Insert the earplug so all flanges are well inside your ear
canal.
Protection levels are improved by pulling your ear
up and back when fitting as shown.
Reach over your head with a free hand, pull your ear
up and back, and insert the earplug well inside your
ear canal.
If properly fitted, the end of the earplugs should not
be visible to someone looking at you from the front.
Hold for 30 – 40 seconds, until the earplug fully
expands in your ear canal. If properly fitted, the end
of the earplugs should not be visible to someone
looking at you from the front.
If properly fitted, the tip of the earplug stem may be
visible to someone looking at you from the front.
In a noisy environment, lightly press the band inward
with your fingertips as shown. You should not notice
a significant dierence in noise level.
Proper Fit
If either or both earplugs do not seem to be fitted
properly, remove the earplug and reinsert.
Removal
Gently twist earplug while slowly pulling in
an outward motion for removal.
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 should not result in a significant
noise dierence.
Wear
• Read and follow all earplug fitting instructions
Selection
• Avoid overprotection in minimal noise environments – in selecting the
best earplug for your situation, consider noise levels and your need to
communicate with co-workers or hear warning signals on the job
Maintenance
• Inspect earplugs prior to wear for dirt, damage or hardness – discard
immediately if compromised
• For proper hygiene, discard Single-Use earplugs after use
• With proper maintenance, Multiple-Use earplugs can last for 2-4 weeks;
clean with mild soap/water and store in a case when not in use
• Clean and replace pods on Banded earplugs regularly
