Push-Ins
™
earplugs combine
the ease of use and fit benefits of a
reusable earplug with the cost and
comfort advantages of a disposable earplug. It’s all made
possible with the innovative, easy-to-use design and the ultra-
soft performance of a tip made of E-A-Rform
™
foam. The
thermoreactive foam softens with body heat.

ARC PLUG
™
Earplugs (NRR 22 dB – red side)
The only arc protection earplugs with Hear-Through
™
earplug
design that allows workers to hear conversation, signals, and
other critical sounds clearly. If an arc flash occurs, the yellow
end of the earplug offers a specially designed patented noise
filter that activates immediately to suppress the noise to a
lower level – without dangerous delay – reducing the chance
of hearing damage.
Plus, with double-end versatility, workers just have to
insert the plug’s red end for protection against exposures to
continuous hazardous noises.
• Material successfully tested for ARC exposures of category
2 and higher, ASTM F1959-2005 modified

Swerve
™
Banded
Hearing Protector (NRR 28 dB)
Comfort meets performance when the
Swerve
™
banded hearing protector
incorporates a cutting-edge band design with the proven
effectiveness of E-A-R
™
foam earplugs. The result is banded
hearing protection like you’ve never seen, heard, or felt before.
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.
