3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs have set the industry standard for noise reduction as the world's first foam earplugs. These earplugs are made of a proprietary soft energy-absorbing slow-recovery foam that's designed to conform to the shape of the ear canal to help provide hearing protection.
- SECURE: Exposed cell surface texture resists movement and helps maintain an effective seal creating a comfortable, snug noise barrier. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) 29 dB. CSA Class AL.*
- OUTSTANDING COMFORT: This unique slow-recovery, low-pressure foam and special cylindrical shape help enhance comfort throughout the day by creating lower pressure in the ear canal.
- SOFT SOUND-ABSORBING FOAM: Proprietary foam is initially firm to make fitting the ear plug easier, then softens once it’s in the ear to comfortably conform to the unique shape of each ear canal.
- SWEAT AND HUMIDITY RESISTANT: Classic ear plugs are resistant to moisture absorption for consistent fitting even in humid environments.
- VERSATILE: Use while chipping, chiseling, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding, sawing and welding.
- CLEAN STORAGE: Reusable pillow pack helps keep earplugs clean when they are not being worn.

More than 40 years ago, the 3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs OCS1137 revolutionized hearing protection in the workplace. As the world's first foam ear plug, it quickly became one of the most widely used earplugs globally. These ear plugs are constructed from slow-recovery, low-pressure foam, which allows them to fit snugly and create a noise barrier, protecting the wearer's hearing from loud sounds.
The 3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs OCS1137 are designed to be both easy to fit and comfortable for extended wear. They are stiff enough when compressed to facilitate easy insertion, yet soft enough to provide a comfortable fit in the ear. The bright yellow color of these ear plugs allows supervisors to conduct quick visual checks for hearing protection compliance.
These ear plugs are recommended for various applications, including chipping, chiseling, drilling, furnace operations, grinding, heavy equipment operations, machining, pouring/casting, power fastening, riveting, sanding, sawing, and welding. They are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, automotive, chemicals, construction, general manufacturing, healthcare, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals.
The 3M E-A-R Classic Ear Plugs OCS1137 are regular-sized earplugs that comfortably fit most people. They have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29 dB, CSA Class AL. These earplugs can be fit tested with the 3M E-A-Rfit Validation System, ensuring proper fit and effectiveness. Additionally, their moisture resistance helps maintain a consistent fit, even in humid conditions.
Noise is a prevalent factor in our daily routines, and millions of Americans are exposed to hazardous noise in their workplaces every day. According to estimates from the National Institutes of Health, approximately 15 percent of Americans (26 million people) between the ages of 20 and 69 have high-frequency hearing loss due to noise exposure at work or during leisure activities. However, hearing loss caused by noise is almost entirely preventable through consistent use of hearing protection.
It is important to note that 3M strongly recommends fit testing of hearing protectors. Research suggests that users may receive less noise reduction than indicated by the NRR due to variations in hearing protector fit, fitting skill, and user motivation. If the NRR is used, 3M recommends reducing it by 50% or following applicable regulations.
