Protect hearing and ensure clear communications in high noise environments with 3M™ PELTOR™ Communication headsets and Earmuffs.
3M™ E-A-R™ Classic™ Earplugs were introduced 40 years ago and this simple yet revolutionary hearing protector remains among the most widely used earplugs in the world.
The simple way to find the right hearing protection for your needs.
Hearing protection is required when noise exposure exceeds 85 dB(A).
Passive ear defenders help reduce the noise by mechanically blocking the sound waves. They are ideal for situations with continuous noise levels and when communication is not critical. Electronic ear defenders use smart technology to help workers hear their environment and/or communicate with others in noise. These solutions are ideal in intermittent noise and/or when communication is critical.
Use the Hearing Protection Advisor to help you select the ear defenders that fit your needs.
This is dependent on the type of ear defender you are using. Therefore fit testing is key.

3M recommends you replace your ear defenders every 3 years or whenever they are damaged or start to lose headband tension, and there is a risk of attenuation loss. Note: Users of 3M products should be familiar with User Instructions before use.
