What NRR 26 actually means

NRR 26 is a strong rating for a plug — comfortably enough for grinders, breakers, circular saws, impact wrenches and most of what makes noise on a site. But the number on the box assumes a perfect fit in a laboratory. In real use you should expect meaningfully less, and the shortfall is almost entirely down to insertion.

A plug that is only pushed into the ear canal opening, rather than rolled and seated properly, loses a large part of its protection. It is worth learning to fit them correctly once — it does more for your hearing than buying a higher-rated plug and fitting it badly.

Why corded

The cord is what makes them get used. Plugs come out constantly during a shift — to hear an instruction, to take a call — and loose plugs end up in a pocket full of dust or on the floor. Corded plugs hang around the neck, stay clean, and are back in within a second.

Reusable, with limits

• Wash them in warm soapy water and dry before reuse.
• Replace them once the silicone hardens, tears or stops springing back — a stiff plug does not seal.
• Hearing loss from noise is permanent and painless while it happens, which is exactly why it gets ignored.
