Product Information
Full details
The 3M E.A.R. Push-Ins Corded Earplugs are designed for industrial workers and hobbyists who require reliable, high-performance noise protection without the hassle of rolling foam. These earplugs offer a superior SNR of 38dB through a convenient, hygienic stem-based insertion method that ensures a consistent seal every time. While they provide exceptional noise reduction, users should note that the one-size-fits-most design may require a brief adjustment period for individuals with smaller or non-standard ear canal shapes to achieve a comfortable, airtight fit.

FAQs
What is the noise reduction rating (SNR)?
These earplugs provide an SNR of 38dB, offering significant protection against hazardous noise levels.
Can I wash these earplugs?
Yes, they are designed to be washable and reusable using mild soap and warm water.
Do I need to roll the foam before inserting?
No, the stem-based design is specifically engineered so that you do not need to touch or roll the foam tip, keeping it clean.
How long do these earplugs last?
The lifespan depends on usage and care; however, they should be replaced if they show signs of damage, loss of pliability, or can no longer be kept clean.
Do these meet safety standards?
Yes, they comply with the EN352-2:2002 standard for hearing protection.
What is the benefit of the stem?
The stem allows for easy, hygienic insertion without requiring you to handle the foam part of the plug, which keeps contaminants out of your ear canal.
Troubleshooting
Earplugs feel like they are slipping out
Ensure you are pulling the ear outward and upward during insertion to straighten the canal, which allows the plug to seat deeper and more securely.
Noise protection feels inconsistent
Check that the foam tip has fully expanded in your ear canal. If it feels uneven, remove and re-insert, ensuring you are pushing the stem until you feel a firm seal.
Earplugs have become stiff or dirty
Wash the earplugs with mild soap and warm water. If they remain stiff after drying, it is time to replace them with a fresh pair from the pack.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High noise reduction rating of 38dB
- Hygienic insertion stem prevents contamination of the foam tip
- Softens with body heat for a personalized, comfortable fit
- Washable and reusable design reduces waste
- Corded feature prevents loss in active work environments
Cons
- One-size-fits-most design may not suit all ear canal sizes
- Requires proper insertion technique to reach the full 38dB protection
- Foam material will eventually degrade after repeated washing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, inspect the earplugs before every use for signs of damage or debris. If the foam tip becomes soiled, it can be gently washed with mild soap and warm water; ensure the earplugs are completely dry before the next use. Avoid using harsh solvents or chemicals, as these can compromise the material integrity. While these are one-size-fits-most, they are compatible with most standard safety eyewear and hard hats, though you should ensure the cord does not interfere with other personal protective equipment (PPE) straps. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to extend the lifespan of the material.
