{"title":"3M E-A-R Classic","description":"\u003ch1\u003e3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3M E-A-R Classic\u003c\/strong\u003e is the foam earplug that essentially defined the category — the recognizable yellow plug found in factories, machine shops, shooting ranges, and construction sites around the world. Made from slow-recovery PVC foam, each plug compresses down for easy insertion, then expands to seal the ear canal and block harmful noise. If your team relies on a consistent, proven earplug for daily hearing protection, this is the standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll the plugs in this collection are one-size-fits-most, cordless, and disposable, which makes them ideal for high-volume environments where earplugs are handed out by the box. The \u003cstrong\u003eE-A-R Classic (310-1001)\u003c\/strong\u003e carries a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB and ships in convenient pillow packs — available in both the 200-pair carton for smaller operations and the 2,000-pair case for stocking a full facility or safety station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor workers with larger or longer ear canals, the \u003cstrong\u003eE-A-R Classic Plus (310-1101)\u003c\/strong\u003e uses an extended length that gives more to grip during insertion and improves fit and seal, delivering a slightly higher NRR of 33 dB. Choosing between the two usually comes down to canal size and comfort preference — many facilities stock both so employees can pick what seals best for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few things buyers commonly ask: yes, these are single-use and should be discarded when soiled or no longer expanding fully; roll each plug tightly before inserting and hold it in place while the foam recovers for a proper seal; and the pillow-pack format keeps individual pairs clean until they're needed. Because fit drives real-world protection, the actual attenuation a worker gets depends on correct insertion, not just the printed NRR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more from the manufacturer across our broader \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/3m\"\u003e3M\u003c\/a\u003e catalog, or compare other 3M lines such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/honestmed.com\/collections\/3m-6000\"\u003e3M 6000\u003c\/a\u003e for related protective equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"3m-e-a-r-classic-ear-plugs","title":"3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs","description":"\u003cp\u003e3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs: Unmatched Comfort and Durability.
