           E-A-R™ Classic™
           Foam Earplugs
           It’s our most popular earplug in the world. The Classic earplug’s timeless design has proven itself in
           the field for over 30 years, and its foam provides a comfortable, effective seal while exerting low pressure in the ear. It’s easy to
           insert and it provides great protection.
                •	 Moisture-resistant – helps reduce moving and shifting problems when used in moist environments
                •	 Reduced pressure – lower equilibrium pressure than many competitive earplugs
                •	 Flame retardant* – important for storage considerations
                •	 Many packaging options available to meet user needs (including reusable dispenser,
                   recyclable, biodegradable, and pulpable options)

                                           quickly and easily. Reusable base and dispensing unit.
           *The E-A-R Classic foam earplugs meets the U.S. Military Specification MIL-P-37407B test requirements for an earplug to resist combustion.
           Research suggests that many users will receive less noise reduction than indicated by the NRR due to variation in earplug fit and wearing time. It is
           recommended that the NRR be reduced by 50% for estimating the average amount of noise reduction provided.

           Peltor™ Next™
           Earplugs
           Young workers don’t want what was. They want what’s next. Bright colors. Different shapes. Easy-use features. Today’s younger
           workforce can be a challenging group to get to wear hearing protection. Simply put, they don’t want “yesterday’s” plugs. They
           want new.
                                                                                                                                                                              HEARING PROTECTION

           Peltor™
           Optime™ Earmuffs
           Choosing the right earmuff for workers is a critical decision. A muff with too little attenuation leaves
           workers vulnerable to noise induced hearing damage. One with too high of a protection level can “overprotect” and make it
           difficult to hear voices, signals, and make a worker feel isolated… a common reason sited for non-compliance.
           Now there’s an easy solution. Just match the numbers to the noise levels.
