3M E-A-R Caps Model 2000 Semi-Insert Banded, Polyurethane, Yellow, Banded - 1 Each

The 3M E-A-R E-A-Rcaps Banded Hearing Protector is one of the most comfortable and convenient options for workers who move in and out of noisy areas. Designed as a semi-aural hearing solution, the soft foam caps block the entrance of the ear canal rather than deeply inserting into it. Combined with a lightweight, flexible band, this setup makes it incredibly easy to put on, take off, and store around the neck when not in use.

Key Features

• Convenient Banded Design: A flexible, durable plastic band keeps the earplugs readily accessible around the neck during quiet periods, reducing the risk of dropping or losing them on the job site.
• Semi-Aural Comfort: The soft polyurethane foam caps cap the ear canal opening rather than fitting deeply inside, offering an excellent alternative for workers who experience discomfort with traditional roll-down earplugs.
• Easy to Apply: Requires no roll-down before insertion—simply push the pods into place using the band, ensuring a fast, hygienic fit even with dirty hands or gloves.
• Economical and Washable: The smooth foam pods resist soil and can be easily cleaned or replaced, extending the life of the plastic band.
• Reliable Protection: Offers a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 17 dB when worn under the chin or behind the neck, making it ideal for low-to-moderate intermittent noise environments.
