The 3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs, part number MMM 3114101, are disposable hearing protection devices designed for industrial and B2B environments. Constructed from slow-recovery foam, these earplugs conform to the ear canal to provide a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 33, offering protection against noise, ear, and moisture. They are suitable for a range of applications including food processing, sanding, electrical work, painting, machine operation, grinding, welding, blasting, assembly, and facility maintenance. A key feature is their metal-detectable design, incorporating a stainless steel ball bearing within the earplug and metal particles in the cord, which is critical for industries like food processing where product contamination must be prevented. The earplugs are also moisture and sweat resistant, making them appropriate for use in humid environments. These corded, large-sized earplugs are a practical choice for organizations requiring reliable, disposable hearing protection with enhanced detectability.
Constructed from slow-recovery foam, the disposable earplug conforms to the shape of the ear canal for premium hearing protection.
3M™ E-A-R™ Classic Earplugs are an economical, reliable choice in hearing protection and conservation. The slow recovery foam used to create these ear plugs, provides a moisture resistant and sound resistant barrier for the ear canal, along with a deeper fit in the ear canal making the 3M™ E-A-R™ Classic Earplug one of the most widely used foam earplugs today.
