How to Fit Your Earplugs for Better Noise Reduction

Correct fitting is important for getting the best performance from your earplugs. Always follow the fitting instructions supplied with your specific product.

  1. Prepare the Earplug: For foam earplugs, roll the plug between your fingers into a thin cylinder. For silicone earplugs, shape or position them according to the product instructions.
  2. Prepare Your Ear: If recommended for your earplug type, gently pull the outer ear upwards and backwards with your opposite hand to help straighten the ear canal.
  3. Insert and Hold: Gently insert the earplug without forcing it. For expanding foam, hold it in position while it expands and forms a secure fit.
  4. Check the Fit: The earplug should feel secure and comfortable. If it causes pain or discomfort, remove it and try again or choose a different size or style.
