3M™ – Foam Earplugs – 1110, – Corded

Description

The description details the 3M 1110, a disposable, corded foam earplug designed for comfort, hygiene, noise reduction, and convenience. Here’s a breakdown of its features and considerations compared to the previously mentioned 3M 1100 uncorded version:

Similarities:

Soft Polyurethane Foam: Offers comfort and is hypoallergenic.

Smooth, Dirt-Resistant Surface: Improves hygiene.

Easy-to-Roll Down Design: Allows for quick fitting.

Tapered Design: Ensures a comfortable fit in most ear canals.

Noise Reduction Rating (NRR): 29 dB (CSA Class AL): Same NRR with the same considerations regarding limitations and 3M’s recommendation to halve it for a more realistic estimate of noise reduction in typical use.

Additional Features (compared to 3M 1100):

Corded: This design allows you to wear the earplugs around your neck when not in use, reducing the risk of losing them. However, cords might snag in some situations.

Possible Applications:

Similar to the 3M 1100, these earplugs can be used for various noise reduction needs, but the corded design might be preferable in situations where you want to easily remove and re-insert the earplugs without losing them (e.g., during work breaks).

Choosing Between 3M 1100 and 3M 1110:

Consider your preference:

Uncorded (3M 1100): Ideal for activities where cords might snag (sleeping) or if losing them is less of a concern.

Corded (3M 1110): Preferable if you want the convenience of keeping the earplugs around your neck for easy access during use breaks.
