The BLUE earplug features a contoured bell shape, slow-expansion foam and meets ANSI S3.19-1974 and CE EN-352: 2002 standards.

Contoured earplugs

The unique contoured shape of Meteors earplugs follows the curves of the ear canal to create exceptional, long-lasting comfort while still providing serious protection. The earplugs have a narrower diameter for the smaller part of the ear canal and a large base seal for proper fit and maximum NRR 33 or NRR 28 protection. Meteors are 100 percent PVC-free.

Hearing protectors

HearDefenders-DF dual-filtered hearing protectors feature variable attenuation. As noise levels rise, noise suppression increases, allowing speech and radio communications to be heard. Advanced filter technology improves speech and radio communication without distortion or muffling. The protectors fit comfortably under helmets, are floatable and moisture-resistant, and are available in black or orange stock models or custom models.

Earplugs

MAX Small earplugs’ reduced size offers workers with smaller ear canals a more comfortable fit and high attenuation (NRR 30). The earplugs have the same bell shape and patented varied-cell polyurethane foam as the standard MAX earplugs, but are 20 percent smaller. The contoured design makes them easier to insert, while the polyurethane foam enhances comfort – especially for long-term wear.

Electronic hearing protection

Left/Right Electronic Hearing Protection earmuffs are different from other hearing protectors, as individual muffs are specially designed to fit left and right ears. Their innovative headband design is thinner, and more flexible sealing rings ensure optimal fit for wearer comfort. Large muffs provide more room for the ear, providing superior hearing protection regardless of the user’s ear shape and size.
