- Insert the compressed earplug into the ear canal.
- Hold briefly while the foam expands and seals the ear canal.
- Repeat for the second ear and check for a secure fit.
⚠️ Hearing protection performance depends on correct insertion and fit; a proper seal in the ear canal is required to achieve the intended noise reduction.
