3M 340-8002 Reusable Corded Ear Plugs

These 3M 340-8002 reusable corded ear plugs deliver a Noise Reduction Rating of 27 dB for hearing protection. Each bulk box contains 100 pairs of yellow vinyl flanged plugs sized medium. A blue vinyl cord connects the pair to reduce loss during use. They meet ANSI S 3.19 -1974 standard.

Installation and common issues

Insert each flanged plug by pulling the ear outward and pushing until a seal forms. The vinyl material softens with body heat for a tighter fit over time. The cord prevents individual plugs from falling but can snag on machinery or clothing. Improper insertion depth is the main cause of reduced attenuation.

Suitable users and limitations

Workers needing medium-sized reusable protection with a cord for frequent removal will find these suitable. The 100-pair bulk pack suits high-turnover environments. Buyers requiring metal-detectable plugs for food processing should look elsewhere. Those needing higher attenuation or a different flange profile should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 27 dB noise reduction is effective after inserting the plugs?

Fit the yellow flanged vinyl plugs so they form a complete seal in the ear canal; the ANSI S 3.19-1974 rating of 27 dB applies when the plugs are worn correctly.

What comes in the bulk box and do I need any extra parts?

The box contains 100 pairs of reusable corded ear plugs with a blue vinyl band; no additional components are required for use.

Which version should I choose for a workplace that does not require metal-detectable plugs?

Select the standard 340-8002 model — it is not metal detectable and meets ANSI S 3.19-1974 with a 27 dB rating.
