Push-In Foam Trust Fit™

DOs and DON’Ts of Howard Leight Earplugs
Proper Fit: If either or both earplugs do not seem to be fitted properly, remove the earplug and reinsert.
Removal: Gently twist earplug while slowly pulling in an outward motion for removal.
Acoustical Check: In a noisy environment, with earplugs inserted, cup your hands over your ears and release. Earplugs should block enough noise so that covering your ears with your hands does not result in a significant noise difference.
WEAR
- Read and follow all earplug fitting instructions.
SELECTION
- Avoid overprotection in minimal noise environments – in selecting the best earplug for your situation, consider noise levels and your need to communicate with co-workers or hear warning signals on the job.
MAINTENANCE
- Prior to fitting, inspect earplugs or ear tips for dirt, damage, or hardness. Discard & replace immediately if compromised.
- For proper hygiene discard disposable earplugs after use.
- With proper maintenance reusable earplugs should be replaced every 2-4 weeks. Push In Foam earplugs should be replaced every 5 days.
- Wash with mild soap/water, pat dry or air dry, and store in a case when not in use.
- Clean regularly and replace ear tip pods every 2-4 weeks on banded earplugs.
