3M™ E-A-Rsoft™ Yellow Neons™ Earplugs feature a tapered shape and smooth soft texture for a comfortable fit. This earplug model is made of a soft, slow-recovery foam that also helps make insertion easier. The regular and large size together offer 3M's maximum noise reduction rating for hearing protection.
When inserting the earplug into the ear, the slow-recovery foam gives the wearer time to get the compressed foam cylinder (rolled down earplug) into the ear before the foam fully expands. High visibility with neon yellow coloring makes this PPE easy to see to verify compliance. This product is EARfit testable to help validate the level of protection the individual user is getting.
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.
