Warning

Custom earplugs are custom made to fit your ear.  They 

will not work for anyone else’s ear.  Attempting to use 
custom earplugs that are not your own, may result in 
damage to the ear canal.

Never remove earplugs or headset while in high noise 
environments. 

 

Failure to comply with general safety precautions violates 

the safety intent of this product and may result in bodily 
harm or damage to the product.  Aegisound claims no 
liability for damage or injury resulting from a failure to 
comply with the safety precautions outlined in this manual.

Always wear both the headset and earplugs when in high 

noise environments.

Generic Triple Flange and Foam eartips should be 
disposed of and replaced when they become soiled.
