 | Soft and comfortable, because it is made of soft hydrophilic pu foam. |
| Moisture absorbent; it keeps the ear canal dry and so remains comfortable for longer periods |
| High noise reduction -- SNR 37db -- to block out snoring |
| Long lasting -- will not deform with repeated use. |
| Easy to use -- simply squeeze the earplug flat, push it into your ear canal, then hold it in until it expands for a snug fit. |
SNR is the European standard, calculated in accordance with ISO 4869 2.2 (1992). In the United States, hearing protection devices are required to have a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), which is very much like the SNR in terms of its calculation method but takes into account different frequencies and standard deviations. The SnorePlug does not yet have an NRR, and we are therefore not marketing this product as an industrial safety device. However, we can tell you that an SNR 37db is very impressive. Here is the attenuation data, as reported by Inspec, an independent European testing laboratory.
