Howard Leight MAX Foam Earplugs

Howard Leight MAX Foam Earplugs are one of the most popular polyurethane foam earplugs on the market, and it’s easy to see why. Each pair is pre-shaped into a bell-like form that’s designed to be easier to insert than straight, cylindrical earplugs, while resisting the tendency to work its way loose during the night. Whether you need peace and quiet for sleeping, protection on a noisy work site, or a bit of calm on your commute, MAX earplugs offer dependable, single-use noise reduction you can rely on.

Key Benefits

MAX Foam Earplugs are built around comfort and consistent performance:

• High noise reduction – rated at NRR 33dB / SNR 37, among the higher ratings available in a foam earplug, tested to ANSI S3.19-1974.
• Contoured for comfort – the bell shape follows the natural curve of the ear canal, making the earplugs comfortable to wear for extended periods.
• Stays put – the enhanced shape is designed to resist backing out of the ear canal, so you’re less likely to be disturbed once you’ve settled down.
• Soft, smooth-skin foam – the closed-cell foam surface resists dirt build-up, keeping each pair clean and hygienic until use.
• Hygienic by design – individually wrapped pairs mean every earplug is protected and ready to use straight from the packet.

Good To Know

Each pair comes individually wrapped and is supplied with a free eco storage bag, handy for keeping a spare pair in your bag, at your desk or on your bedside table. MAX Foam Earplugs are a single-use product and are not designed to be washed and reused.

Which Size Should I Choose?

Howard Leight MAX Foam Earplugs are available in five pack sizes, so you can choose the quantity that suits how often you plan to use them.

• 5 Pairs – a convenient trial size, ideal if you’re trying MAX earplugs for the first time.
• 10 Pairs – a good option for occasional use, such as travel or the odd noisy night.
• 20 Pairs – suited to regular users who want a couple of months’ supply on hand.
• 50 Pairs – a practical choice for nightly use or sharing with a partner.
• 100 Pairs – a bulk pack for frequent, long-term use, at work or at home.

The formulation and performance are identical across every pack size. Only the quantity changes.

How To Use

1. Roll the earplug firmly between your fingers into a thin, crease-free cylinder.
2. Reach over your head with your opposite hand to gently pull the top of your ear up and back, which helps straighten the ear canal.
3. Insert the rolled earplug into your ear canal and hold it in place while it expands, usually for around 20 to 30 seconds.
4. Once fully expanded, check that the earplug feels snug and comfortable, then repeat for the other ear.
5. To remove, slowly twist and pull the earplug outward. Dispose of each pair after use.

Who Are They Suitable For?

MAX Foam Earplugs are suitable for most adults looking for effective, everyday noise reduction, whether for sleeping, travelling, working in noisy environments or attending loud events. As with any foam earplug, they’re intended for occasional insertion into a healthy, unobstructed ear canal. If you have a history of ear infections, ear surgery or any other ear condition, check with a pharmacist or GP before use.

Safety Information

• For external use in the ear canal only.
• Single use only. Do not reuse or attempt to clean and reinsert.
• Do not use if you have an ear infection, perforated eardrum or irritated skin in or around the ear.
• Discontinue use and seek advice if any discomfort or irritation occurs.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place.

FAQs

Can I reuse Howard Leight MAX Foam Earplugs?
No. They’re designed as a single-use product, so each pair should be disposed of after wearing and replaced with a fresh pair.

Are these earplugs suitable for sleeping?
Yes. Their soft, contoured shape and high noise reduction rating make them a popular choice for blocking out snoring, traffic and other night-time noise.

How long can I wear foam earplugs for?
Most people find foam earplugs comfortable enough for a full night’s sleep or a normal working day. If you notice any discomfort, remove them and give your ears a rest.

Can I use these earplugs for swimming?
Foam earplugs like these are designed for noise reduction rather than water protection, so they’re not intended for swimming. For that, look for a dedicated swimming earplug.

Which pack size should I buy first time?
If you haven’t tried MAX Foam Earplugs before, the 5-pair pack is a good way to see how they feel before committing to a larger quantity.
