FAQ – 3M™ E-A-Rsoft™ Yellow Neons™ Uncorded Earplugs (NRR 33 dB)
What level of hearing protection do these earplugs provide?
These earplugs offer a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 33 dB, one of the highest levels available for disposable earplugs. This makes them ideal for high-noise environments such as construction sites, metalworking, grinding, drilling, welding, and other industrial applications where maximum hearing protection is essential.
What are the earplugs made of, and are they comfortable for long-term use?
3M™ E-A-Rsoft™ Yellow Neons™ are made from soft, slow-recovery polyurethane foam. This material gently expands inside the ear canal, creating a secure but comfortable seal. The tapered design accommodates most ear sizes and reduces pressure points, making them suitable for extended wear throughout long work shifts.
How do I properly insert these earplugs?
To insert them correctly, simply roll the foam earplug into a tight, crease-free cylinder, then gently pull back on the ear to straighten the canal and insert the earplug. The slow-recovery foam will gradually expand to form a snug fit. Proper insertion ensures you achieve the full NRR protection rating.
Are these earplugs hygienic for shared or busy job sites?
Yes. Each pair is individually poly-bagged, which helps maintain cleanliness and reduces contamination risks in workplaces where multiple employees use ear protection. This packaging also makes them easy to distribute in safety stations, tool rooms, and jobsite PPE kiosks.
Are these compatible with hearing protection fit testing systems?
These earplugs are compatible with the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Validation System, allowing employers to verify that workers achieve the required hearing protection levels. Fit testing helps improve compliance and ensures that employees are properly protected in high-noise areas.
How many earplugs come in a box?
Each box contains 200 pairs, making them a cost-effective option for businesses, workshops, and industrial facilities that require a consistent supply of disposable hearing protection.
Do these earplugs meet any certifications?
Yes, they are CSA Class AL compliant, indicating they meet Canadian Standards Association requirements for hearing protection in occupational settings.
