How to Use Foam Earplugs | By Ally Safety

[@AllySafety]

Hi everyone, thanks for watching! Make sure to properly insert your foam earplugs to protect your hearing! Also, please don't comment "What?!" That Dad joke has lost its edge...

[@MainDeJustice]

Thanks! Although it seems that there are many videos on the subject, this one proved to be detailed and easy to follow

[@linelizcartagena3266]

Great video! It was short and sweet and super informative. Perfect for my guys with short attention spans 😂 I run the safety meetings at the jobsite, and I didn't realize i was wearing these incorrectly. October is protecting your hearing month, so I will be showing this video to everyone. Thanks!

is it reusable?

10.18.24. Foam ear plus are superior to headphone styles that cover the ear. I have encountered folks who don't know this in industrial settings or gun ranges. When I was involved in military aviation, the foamies were the mandatory, primary protection. I would wear both styles if I had to work adjacent to a running turbine engine for a protracted period of time.

are they reusable? or is it better to throw them after one use?

[@AllySafety]

Most are supposed to be single use.

[@ChiragNagpal375]

Mam is it safe to use for longer hours? for studies

Do we insert the whole earplug inside the ear canal? Can it be too long for certain person and case problems (such as earwax plugs, damage to the drum, etc.)?

[@AllySafety]

Yeah, it can 100% not be the right size. People rarely talk about this but it makes a big difference. I buy my own ear plugs because the standard ones don’t sit flush with my ear like they’re supposed to. You can also get customizable ones on Amazon fairly cheap. Those are reusable and help solve the fit problem.

Great job on this video! Here's a little earplug trivia. The guy who discovered and popularized the pulling on the ear to straighten the ear canal was Howard Leight's father, Charlie Leight. He was a great man (and used to give everyone See's Candy at work, too!).

[@AllySafety]

Whoa, very cool! I didn't know that.

[@musiclover3154]

How do you clean them tho?

[@123-g8z8c]

Toilet

my earplugs are expanding too quickly before try to insert

[@veg2489]

Helpful! Thanks

[@abimaelbonilla5516]

Thanks🎉

[@pinkishhaven5158]

help, i rolled it, pulled my ear and held it in place for minute but it still popped out. Plus I can't inseet it properly in my ear canal cuz it seems to curve despite me pulling on my ear. I do admit that I just bought my earplugs online tho...so it's a one size for all thing

[@AllySafety]

Check the size! You may need to adjust sizing.

how to make earplugs elastic again? My mistake, I washed my ear plugs and then they couldn't be squeezed anymore and they became inelastic. please give me tips 🙏

[@AllySafety]

Oh no! Sorry, I'm not sure how to help with that one.

[@brianhoy]

Try washing with distilled water instead of tap water. Minerals in tap water stick to earplugs making it stiff.

[@janetrb1123]

Foam earplus absolutely do no work for me. They do not create a seal and do not fit in my ear.

[@sam-gy1in]
