FAQs
What does NRR 33 mean?
NRR stands for Noise Reduction Rating. A rating of 33 dB indicates the level of noise reduction provided when the earplugs are used according to instructions.
Are these earplugs reusable?
No, Howard Leight Max earplugs are designed for single use to maintain hygiene and effectiveness.
Can I wash these in water?
Washing the earplugs will cause the foam to deteriorate and lose its shape-memory properties, rendering them ineffective.
Are these suitable for sleep?
While they provide excellent noise reduction for sleep, the cord may be cumbersome for side sleepers.
Do they contain latex?
The Howard Leight Max series is made from PVC foam and is generally considered latex-free.
Troubleshooting
Earplugs do not block sound effectively
The earplug was likely not inserted deeply enough or did not expand fully. Re-roll the foam tightly and ensure it is placed further into the canal.
Plug constantly falls out
This often happens if the plug is not rolled thin enough before insertion or is not held in place long enough to allow for full expansion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Industry-leading NRR 33 protection
- Soft foam material provides long-term comfort

Cons
- Not intended for reuse after cleaning
- Requires proper rolling technique to be effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: With clean hands, roll the entire foam portion of the earplug into a small, crease-free cylinder.
- Insertion: Reach over your head with the opposite hand and pull your ear upward and outward to straighten the ear canal. Insert the rolled end of the plug deeply enough to create a seal.
- Expansion: Hold the end of the plug in place for 30-60 seconds while the foam expands against the walls of the ear canal.
- Compatibility: These plugs are standard size and compatible with most workplace safety goggles and hard hats.
- Disposal: These are disposable products. Do not attempt to wash or reuse them, as the foam structure will degrade, losing its sealing ability and hygienic integrity.
