FAQs

Are these earplugs suitable for sleeping?

While designed for comfort, their primary purpose is noise reduction in work environments. For sleeping, softer, specifically designed earplugs might offer greater comfort.

How often should I replace these earplugs?

With proper care and cleaning, these reusable earplugs can last for an extended period. Replace them if they show signs of wear, damage, or if their noise reduction effectiveness diminishes.

Can I wear these earplugs with safety glasses or helmets?

Yes, the slim profile and mouldable nature of the earplugs generally allow them to be worn comfortably with other personal protective equipment like safety glasses or helmets.

What is the noise reduction rating (NRR) of these earplugs?

Specific NRR or SNR values are typically provided on the product packaging or manufacturer's data sheet. Please refer to that information for precise decibel reduction figures.

Can children use these earplugs?

These earplugs are designed for adult ear canals. Children may require smaller, specifically sized hearing protection.

How do I clean the dispenser box?

The dispenser box can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Ensure the earplugs are removed before cleaning.

Are these earplugs waterproof?

While they can be washed with water, they are not designed for submersion or prolonged exposure to water. Ensure they are fully dry before use.

Troubleshooting

Earplug does not seal properly

Ensure the earplug is inserted correctly by rolling and inserting it, then holding it as it expands. Check for earwax or debris in the ear canal or on the earplug.

Discomfort during wear

Try a different insertion technique or ensure you are not over-inserting. The mouldable material should adapt; if persistent discomfort occurs, consult the sizing recommendations or consider alternative protection.

Reduced noise reduction effectiveness

Clean the earplugs as per care instructions. Damaged or worn-out earplugs may need to be replaced.

Cord becomes tangled or damaged

Handle the cord with care to avoid knots. If the cord is significantly damaged, the earplug should be replaced for safety.
