Product information

If you're not sure which product best suits your needs, please use the choice help tool though the link below. Based on a few questions it will advise the best fitting product(s) for you.

Help me choose

The NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) value is a United States standard that allows you to compare the degree of noise reduction of different hearing protectors. Independent laboratories test earplugs and earmuffs to determine their rating. In Europe, the SNR (Single Number Rating) is used instead of the NRR. This rating is slightly less strict than the US standard. The higher these ratings are, the more the hearing protection attenuates.
Often times, both NRR and SNR ratings are communicated on Alpine product packages.

General earplug instructions
How to insert any Alpine earplug:

  1. Hold the earplug by the filter side
  2. Gently pull your ear up and out to straighten the canal
  3. Carefully insert the earplug until comfortable

For the best fit
There should be a good seal, without feeling pain or pressure. Depending on your product, you can try different earplug tip sizes for maximum comfort.

Product-specific instructions:
Each Alpine product has unique features and fitting instructions. Visit your product's page for detailed instructions on fitting techniques, size adjustments, special features and care instructions.

Your Alpine product comes with a 24-month factory warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers repairs, replacement, or product return as determined by Alpine, including transport costs to and from your retailer.

To claim warranty, you'll need:

  • Your dated proof of purchase
  • A clear description of the issue
  • The product and/or photos showing the defect

The warranty doesn't cover:

  • Products used beyond recommended usage time (3-6 months for daily use)
  • Self-modified or self-repaired products
  • Damage from neglect, accidents, or improper use
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Improper storage or maintenance
  • Cosmetic issues like scratches or discoloration
  • Dissatisfaction with fit, function, color, or design

For intensive use, we recommend replacing your earplugs every 3-6 months to maintain optimal protection.

Note: Our Lifetime warranty products are guaranteed to function properly for up to 5 years after purchase.

We recommend to clean your Alpine earplugs with lukewarm water and soap or using the disinfecting Alpine Clean cleaning spray.

After washing, dry the earplugs with a dishcloth or tissue. The earplugs are immediately ready for use after drying.
