Foam Ear Plugs

Soft foam ear plugs with high noise reduction for single use.

Foam ear plugs are a widespread form of disposable hearing protection. They are rolled between the fingers, inserted into the ear canal and slowly expand until they seal. The soft PU foam adapts to each wearer and remains comfortable over long periods.

The range includes anatomically shaped plugs with SNR 37 dB in boxes of 200 pairs, tapered plugs with SNR 34 dB, also 200 pairs and individually wrapped, and a refill pack of 500 pairs with SNR 37 dB for ear plug dispensers. EN 352-2 is stated for the anatomical plugs, and all models are EN-certified and CE-marked.

Typical applications

  • Production halls and machine floors
  • Construction, demolition and road works
  • Workshops with grinding, sawing and drilling
  • Logistics, airport aprons and loading bays
  • Visitor kit in noisy areas of the site

What to look for when buying

The SNR value indicates average attenuation. Match it to your noise situation: too little attenuation does not protect adequately, too much can make communication and hearing warning signals harder. Your risk assessment sets the requirement.

Tapered and anatomically shaped plugs differ in fit, and which shape sits better varies from person to person. For sites with many employees, a dispenser with refill packs is practical because everyone can help themselves at the hall entrance. Individually wrapped plugs are well suited for handing to visitors.

Frequently asked questions

What does SNR mean?

SNR stands for Single Number Rating, an averaged attenuation value in decibels. Our foam ear plugs are rated at 34 or 37 dB.

How do I fit foam ear plugs correctly?

Roll the plug thin, gently pull the outer ear up and back with the other hand, insert the plug and hold it for a few seconds until it has expanded.
