Hearing Protection Information
This SoundGear device has a noise reduction
rating (NRR) of 22 dB.
This is a standardized estimation of how much
noise is attenuated. Actual attenuation varies
depending on many factors, such as impulse vs.
continuous noise, overall sound pressure level,
sound frequencies, volume and amplification
settings, etc. For more information, see
soundgear.com/guide.

dB attenuation as measured according to ANSI S12.42-2010
on GRAS 45CB test fixture.
Note that the earplugs were fitted to a
test fixture with cylindrical ear canals. The
attenuation provided to humans may vary. This
data is in accordance with Canadian standard
CZ942-14.
