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:
- Hold the earplug by the filter side
- Gently pull your ear up and out to straighten the canal
- 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.
