3M 1 06528079 Foam Earplugs 29db Corded 20 Pairs

Product Description

The 3M 1 06528079 is a corded, disposable foam earplug designed for consistent hearing protection in high-noise work environments. Each earplug delivers a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB, meeting ANSI S3.19-1974 standards. The barrel-shaped plug is made from soft polyurethane foam and is installed using a roll-down insertion method, which compresses the plug for a secure, low-pressure fit in the ear canal. Each pack contains 20 pairs. The blue cord keeps the pair together and prevents loss during intermittent use. These earplugs are suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals working around loud equipment, compressors, or power tools.

This earplug is sized universally and is appropriate for a wide range of ear canal sizes without fitting adjustments. Typical applications include industrial facilities, mechanical rooms, construction sites, and any environment where sustained noise levels require documented hearing protection. The corded design makes them practical for tasks where earplugs are removed and reinserted frequently throughout a shift. Each pack of 20 pairs supports crew-level distribution or stocking a service vehicle kit.

Installation Notes

Earplugs should be inserted by a qualified worker following the roll-down method: compress the plug, reach over the head to straighten the ear canal, insert, and hold until fully expanded. No tools are required. Disposable earplugs should not be reused once soiled or degraded. Hearing protection programs on job sites may be governed by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 requirements — confirm site-specific compliance with the responsible safety officer.
