Small-diameter hearing protection

These 3M E·A·R Classic earplugs use slow-recovery PVC foam in a smaller cylinder size that fits narrow ear canals. The pack contains 200 cordless pairs, each sealed in an individual Pillow Pak for hygiene. Bright yellow colour lets supervisors confirm compliance at a glance. Test compatible with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System and rated CSA Class AL.

Suited for workers with smaller ear canals

Ideal for operators in grinding, drilling, welding, machining and similar high-noise tasks who find standard plugs too large. Not suited for users who prefer reusable plugs, corded designs or metal-detectable variants. Buyers needing higher attenuation or a different material should consider other options.

Noise reduction rating of 29 dB

The laboratory NRR is 29 dB; research shows typical workplace protection is often lower, so a 50 % derating is recommended when estimating real-world exposure. This single figure determines whether the plug meets your site's noise-control requirements.

Questions about this item

What size ear canals does the small cylinder shape suit?

The small cylinder diameter is designed for smaller ear canals and fits comfortably without excessive pressure.

How do you insert the PVC foam plugs so they expand fully?

Roll each plug into a tight cylinder, pull the ear up and back, insert deeply, then hold until the foam recovers and seals.

When should the 200 pairs be replaced in a noisy workplace?

Replace each pair after a single shift or whenever the foam becomes soiled, damaged or fails to re-expand fully.
