3M Earplugs
3M earplugs provide comfortable, effective hearing protection for workers in noisy industrial environments such as construction, manufacturing, and maintenance. Made from soft, slow-recovery foam or durable reusable materials, 3M earplugs expand gently to fit securely in the ear canal, ensuring maximum comfort and sound attenuation throughout the workday.
Each model is NIOSH-tested and ANSI-rated, offering a certified Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) to protect against dangerous sound levels while allowing speech and warning signals to remain audible. 3M also offers corded and banded designs, making it easier to keep earplugs accessible between uses - reducing waste and promoting consistent wear.
From disposable foam plugs to long-lasting reusable designs, 3M earplugs deliver dependable performance, safety compliance, and comfort for every industrial worker.
