GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Earbling earplugs help you manage sound. Wear them to protect against hearing damage from hazardous noise levels. Earbling earplugs are ideal for safeguarding your hearing during concerts and reducing sounds at the office.
Insert by taking the earplug between your thumb and index finger. To ease insertion, pull gently at the top of your ear. Softly push and twist until the ear tip seals your ear canal completely. Try multiple ear tips to find your perfect fit. Remove your Earbling earplugs using slow twisting motions to gradually break the seal. Sudden or rapid removal of the hearing protector can cause damage to the eardrum. Inspect regularly for serviceability. Check the working order of the earplugs regularly and store them in the original, clean case.

The minimum attenuation levels are the following (rounded values):
SNR-Value 14 [dB]: Average noise attenuation
H-Value 15 [dB]: High frequency attenuation
M-Value 13 [dB]: Medium frequency attenuation
L-Value 11 [dB]: Low frequency attenuation
When this device is worn as directed, the level of noise entering a person’s ear is approximated by the differences between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the lesser and greater Noise Reduction Ratings.
