Earplugs
Product description
The 3M
™
E-A-Rsoft
™
Yellow Neons
™
Earplugs are designed for
insertion into the ear canal to help reduce exposure to hazardous
levels of noise and loud sound. These products are available
inacorded and uncorded version.
The uncorded version is also available in the 3M
™
E-A-R
™
One-Touch
™
Pro Earplug Dispenser format.
These products may be used in high noise environments and
provide effective protection across all test frequencies.
Key features
Ŕ Slow expanding polyurethane foam
Ŕ Soft foam helps provide low pressure inside the ear canal
Ŕ Tapered shape conforms quickly to fit comfortably in most
ear canals
Ŕ SNR 36dB – see table of full attenuation data
Ŕ Particularly suited for low frequency noise
Ŕ Compatible with the 3M
™
E-A-Rfit
™
Dual-Ear Validation System
Ŕ Vibrant colours – neon yellow colour for hearing protection
compliance sighting
Ŕ Available in both uncorded (ES-01-001) and corded
(ES-01-005) versions

Attenuation values:
f (Hz) 63 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000
Mf (dB) 23.7 30.8 36.1 39.2 39.5 35.8 42.1 46.1
sf (dB) 6.7 6.5 6.7 4.7 3.9 4.9 3.1 3.3
APVf (dB) 17.0 24.3 29.4 34.5 35.6 30.9 39.0 42.8
SNR = 36dB, H = 34dB, M = 34dB, L = 31dB, APVf (dB) = Mf – sf (dB)
Key:
f = Test frequency
Mf = Mean attenuation value
sf = Standard deviation
APVf = Assumed Protection Value
H = High-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction
for noise with LC – LA = -2dB)
M = Medium-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level
reduction for noise with LC – LA = +2dB)
L = Low-frequency attenuation value (predicted noise level reduction
for noise with LC – LA = +10dB)
SNR = Single Number Rating (the value that is subtracted from the
measured C-weighted sound pressure level, LC in order to estimate
the effective A-weighted sound pressure level inside the ear)
