  • Using foam hearing protection can be a little more complicated

  • than people think.

  • The first step is roll the foam hearing protection between your fingers,

  • until the protection looks thin all the way around.

  • While the protection is thin, quickly pull the top of your ear

  • up and back and put the protection in your ear canal

  • as far as you can with the flat side facing out of the ear.

  • Pulling your ear up and back will straighten out your ear canal,

  • making it easier to put the protection in your ear.

  • You should keep hold of the protection with a finger until the protection fully expands.

  • Once the protection is put in correctly,

  • it should not be hanging out of the ear but look similar to this.
