New Howard Leight MAX Small Earplugs Maximize Hearing Protection And Comfort For People With Smaller Ear Canals

Smithfield, RI - Honeywell Safety Products recently introduced MAX Small earplugs — an extension to the flagship Howard Leight MAX single-use earplug family. MAX Small's reduced size offers people with smaller ear canals a more comfortable fit and high attenuation (NRR 30).

MAX Small has the same bell shape and patented varied-cell polyurethane foam as the standard MAX earplug, though is 20% smaller in geometry.

Through customer feedback and evaluations with Howard Leight's VeriPRO ear plug fit testing system, employees with smaller ear canals have reported trouble obtaining a good fit — and adequate protection — from other high attenuating roll-down foam earplugs on the market.

"The right ear plug should feel comfortable in the ear canal without compromising protection. MAX Small meets that need by ensuring a high level of attenuation and a more comfortable fit as in a single-use foam earplug," said Renee S. Bessette, COHC, Global Brand Manager, Howard Leight / Honeywell Safety Products.

In end-user trials involving automobile manufacturing workers and safety inspectors, individuals with smaller ear canals have reported achieving a better in-ear fit — and attained higher attention — with MAX Small earplugs than with the use of larger single-use earplugs.

MAX Small is available in both corded and uncorded models, and is available immediately from industrial safety distributors in the US and Canada.
