Put Earplugs in Properly

Earplugs should be used if you are going to do a loud activity like mow the lawn, play the drums or go to a rock concert, to preserve your hearing. Ear plugs can also be used to sleep in loud conditions, like on airplanes or if you are a light sleeper. You should take earplugs out after about nine hours of use and you should purchase new earplugs about once a week.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clean earplugs gently with a paper towel if they have been used before. Do not use earplugs that have been worn by someone else.

    • 2

      Roll the rounded side of one earplug between your fingers. The foam will contract and the width of the earplugs will become thinner.

    • 3

      Place the earplug into your right ear. Hold the earplug in place until the foam begins to expand again. When the earplug feels snug, the insertion is complete.

    • 4

      Repeat with the other earplug.

Tips & Warnings

  • Foam earplugs come in a variety of colors.

  • Only push your earplugs in as far as is comfortable.
