WARNING * These hearing protection products help prevent hearing loss against certain noises. To provide proper protection, the hearing protector should be (1) suitable for the job, (2) fitted properly in/on the ear, (3) worn during all times of exposure to noise, and (4) replaced when damaged or otherwise necessary. * Failure to fit and use hearing protectors according to these instruction will reduce their effectiveness. Failure to wear hearing protectors 100% of the time that you are exposed to hazardous noise may dramatically increase your risk of developing hearing loss. * Keep ear plugs away from infants and small children. They may get caught in the child's windpipe.
