3M™ No-Touch™ Earplugs combine the comfort of ultra soft foam with the precision of push-to-fit hearing protection. A firm paddle grip helps with insertion of the foam ear tip into the ear canal. Not having to touch the ear tips to insert them into the ears helps the ear tips stay clean longer.
3M™ No-Touch™ Push-to-Fit Earplugs feature a flexible stem to help keep the soft foam tip clean, even when hands are dirty. There is no need to roll the foam before fitting. By eliminating this step, these earplugs help reduce the chance of contaminants being introduced into the earcanal. Our earplugs are packaged in a poly bag to keep them clean prior to use. Recommended applications include assembly and mechanical, chipping, chiseling, cleaning, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, metal repair, painting, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding, sawing and welding.
Not only is noise present in our daily routines and recreational activities, but millions of Americans work in hazardous noise on a daily basis. Estimates from the National Institutes of Health suggest that approximately 15 percent of Americans (26 million people) between the ages of 20 and 69 have high frequency hearing loss due to exposure to noise at work or during leisure activities. Hearing loss due to noise is almost entirely preventable by judicious use of hearing protection.
Paddle grips help with earplug insertion or removal
Inserting the ear tips with the paddle grips helps the ear tips stay clean, even when hands or gloves are dirty
Bell shaped foam ear tips are designed to fit a wide range of ear canal sizes and shapes
Compatible with the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Validation System
Noise reduction rating (NRR)*: 29 dB
Available with or without cords to suit user preference
*U.S. EPA specifies the NRR as the measure of hearing protector noise reduction. However, 3M makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR for this purpose. 3M strongly recommends personal fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the attenuation label value(s) on the packaging due to variation in fit, fitting skill, and motivation of the user. Refer to applicable regulations or guidance on how to adjust attenuation label values. It is recommended that the NRR be reduced by 50% to better estimate typical protection.
