3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs

As the world's first foam earplug, the 3M E-A-R Classic Earplug revolutionized hearing protection in the
workplace. Since its introduction more than 40 years ago, no other earplug has been studied and assessed in the
field more comprehensively than the Classic earplug. Explore this site and discover why the Classic earplugs
remain one of the most popular choices in the world today for attenuation, comfort and ease-of-fit. Available in
three different sizes and a wide range of packaging options to better meet the needs of the individual wearer.
What makes a comfortable earplug?
The comfort of an earplug cannot be assessed by its look or feel. The only true measure of comfort is through
user experience. 3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs offer distinct features that have helped make Classic
earplug products a preference of workers and industrial safety professionals for over 40 years.
Their unique, in-ear characteristics, such as shape, density, texture and resistance to moisture, ensure all-day
comfort and protection in a wide range of working environments.
Built-in comfort
 Reduced ear canal pressure: The unique slow recovery foam used in Classic earplugs creates lower
pressure in the ear canal than other foams for outstanding comfort throughout the day.
Sweat and humidity resistant: 3M E-A-R Classic Foam is resistant to moisture. Absorption for
consistent fitting, even in humid environments.
Stays in place: Classic earplugs are firm when rolled-down for fitting and soften after fitting to fully,
and comfortably, seal the ear canal for noise reduction.
Why is ease-of-fit so important?
Every ear canal is unique, which is why ease-of-fit is so important in optimizing hearing protection. This is
where the vinyl foam of the 3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs has a material advantage over other foam plugs.
Classic earplugs have just the right balance of softness and firmness. The foam is initially firm to make fitting
the plug easier, then softens once it's in the ear to help comfortably conform to the unique shape of each ear
canal. See below for fitting instructions.
Fitting Instructions
Hands and plugs should be clean before fitting.
1. ROLL plug slowly with thumb & fingers (fig A). Gradually increase pressure to COMPRESS plug to a
very thin crease-free cylinder.
2. INSERT compressed plug well into ear canal WHILE PULLING ear outward & upward with opposite
hand (fig B).
3. CHECK FIT after plug expands in ear. TOUCH plug. You should feel only the end of plug (fig C). If
you feel most of plug outside the ear canal (fig D) remove plug & repeat fitting. LISTEN to steady loud
noise with plugs in both ears. Cover ears with tightly cupped hands. Noise should sound about the same
whether or not ears are covered. If you cannot obtain a good fit, try a different size or type of hearing
protector.

Usage, Cleaning and Storage
Wipe dirt or debris from earplugs before reusing
Replace foam earplugs when they become damaged or when they no longer recover to their original
shape, softness or expansion characteristics after removal from the ear
Store earplugs in original packaging out of direct sunlight
Taking hearing conservation to the next level
The 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System makes it easy to measure every employee's unique level of protection
and takes the guesswork out of managing compliance in your hearing conservation program.
 E-A-Rfit validation system is a service program designed to help validate hearing protection and compliance. It
delivers an objective, quantitative measurement of each employee's protection, so you can better protect your
workforce while helping employees understand the importance of proper fit. With the E-A-Rfit validation
system, your employees will learn how to properly insert their earplug, and you'll have the confidence that they
are wearing the right earplug for their environment.
It is fast, quantitative and objective
Provides a personal Attenuation Rating (PAR) of hearing protectors
Offers training for consistent fit
Provides documentation for compliance reporting

3M Scotchlite Reflective Material

3M is a pioneer in developing the science behind retro reflection and has been advancing the technology
in new and groundbreaking ways for over 70 years. We continue to make advancements in reflective material
innovations and play a longstanding role in on-the-job safety. Our products are proven to be bright, durable and
high quality, with worldwide technical, marketing and lab support.

Retro reflectivity helps the eye perceive objects in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source. In
more scientific terms, retro reflection occurs when light rays are returned in the direction from which they
came. Retroreflective materials appear brightest to an observer located near the original light source. Since very
little light is scattered when the light is returned, retroreflective materials enhance the contrast of the wearer for
an observer located near the original light source.

beaded and prismatic technologies, you are certain to find the product you need for your application.
