Description

Ohropax Classic Wax and Cotton ear plugs, imported from Germany, protect your ears from sound and irritating noises. Ideal for sleep, relaxation, well-being and meditation. Also recommended for concentrated work, DIY, loud music, and wind noise.

Ohropax Classic ear plugs have been an established noise protection product since 1907. The unique formulation -- cotton fibers soaked in a mixture of Vaseline and paraffin wax -- was so perfect right from the outset that it has remained practically unchanged up until the present day.

The ingredients are gentle to the skin and hypoallergenic. These moldable ear plugs can also be easily adjusted to fit every auditory canal and considerably reduce the effects of noise pollution. The wearing comfort is excellent as no sensation of pressure occurs in the ear. The snug material adheres well to the skin and enables secure positioning. The peach-coloured ear plugs look discreet when worn.

Ohropax Classic Wax and Cotton ear plugs come with 6 pairs in a reusable storage case.

Key certifications:

SNR 22

An SNR of 22 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 22 decibels across various frequencies.

'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.

Product Care

Storage:

  • After use, place the ear plugs back into their original case or a clean, dry container.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Cleaning:

  • Wax ear plugs are designed for single-use or limited multiple uses.
  • If reused, ensure the plugs are free from dirt and debris.
  • Do not wash or submerge the putty in water, as this can degrade its effectiveness.

Lifespan:

  • Replace the ear plugs if they become dirty, lose their tackiness, or no longer form a proper seal.
  • For optimal hygiene and performance, consider using a fresh pair after a few uses.

Instructions

Insertion

2. Gently soften the wax earplug by rolling it between your fingers.
3. Mold the earplug into a shape that fits comfortably at the entrance of your ear canal.
4. Place the molded earplug over the ear canal entrance, ensuring it seals effectively without inserting it deeply.

Removal

  • To remove, gently press behind your ear to loosen the earplug and carefully withdraw it with your fingers.

Usage Tips

  • Do not cut or divide the earplugs, as this may reduce their effectiveness.
  • If you experience discomfort or irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
