Howard Leight qd1 Reusable Earplugs Nrr 26 Db 100 Pairs

Product Description

The HOWARD LEIGHT qd1 is a reusable, uncorded earplug designed for all-day hearing protection in high-noise work environments. Rated at NRR 26 dB, these plugs deliver consistent attenuation without requiring the rolling or compression step common with foam disposables. A built-in flexible stem guides the plug into the ear canal for quick, repeatable insertion. The smooth, bell-shaped body is made from non-irritating material that stays comfortable through long shifts and can be cleaned with soap and water for extended reuse. Each dispenser contains 100 pairs. These are suited for industrial, construction, and trade environments where workers need reliable, reusable hearing protection.

The qd1 earplugs are intended for use in environments with sustained noise exposure, including mechanical rooms, compressor areas, generator rooms, and job sites. The uncorded design allows freedom of movement without a connecting cord getting in the way. The orange color aids in visual compliance checks by supervisors. Workers who need to put on and remove hearing protection frequently throughout a shift benefit from the no-roll stem-insertion design, which speeds up donning and reduces improper fit. The 100-pair dispenser format suits crew-use applications where bulk supply is practical.

Key Features

• NRR 26 dB noise reduction rating for consistent hearing protection
• No rolling required — built-in flexible stem for fast, repeatable insertion

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose reusable earplug for workers in industrial, construction, and trade environments requiring OSHA-compliant hearing protection where sustained noise levels exceed safe exposure thresholds.

Installation Notes

Hearing protection should be fitted by a qualified safety officer or trained supervisor during initial deployment to confirm proper seal and NRR effectiveness. Grasp the flexible stem, pull the outer ear up and back to straighten the canal, and insert the plug until seated snugly. Inspect plugs before each use and discard any that are torn, deformed, or no longer resilient. Clean reusable plugs with mild soap and water and allow to dry fully before storing.
