3M 06528061 Foam Earplugs 29db Barrel Uncorded 20 Pairs

Product Description

The 3M 06528061 is a disposable foam earplug designed for hearing protection in high-noise work environments. Rated at 29 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), these barrel-shaped plugs use a roll-down insertion method for a consistent, secure fit. Each pack contains 20 pairs. The soft foam construction conforms to the ear canal and provides reliable attenuation across a wide range of industrial noise sources. These plugs require no cord or hardware and are intended for single-use applications where hygiene and convenience are priorities. HVAC techs, electricians, plumbers, and other trade workers frequently carry disposable earplugs for equipment start-up testing, power tool use, and confined mechanical spaces.

Suited for general industrial, construction, and trade service environments where ambient noise levels exceed safe exposure thresholds. The universal size fits most adults without adjustment beyond the roll-down insertion technique. The yellow color aids visibility for compliance checks on job sites where PPE verification is required. These earplugs are not metal-detectable, which is a relevant consideration for food processing or similar environments. The 20-pair pack format is practical for tool bag storage or fleet vehicle PPE kits.

Installation Notes

Roll the earplug into a thin cylinder before insertion, then reach over the head to pull the ear upward and back to straighten the canal before inserting. Hold the plug in place for approximately 30 seconds while it expands to form a seal. Dispose of plugs after use and do not reinsert a plug that has been contaminated or compressed multiple times. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 governs hearing conservation requirements in general industry.
