The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when hearing protector is worn as  
directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted  
environmental noise level and the NRR .

Example

1 .  The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 dB(A) .

2 .  The NRR is 25 decibels (dB) .

3 .   The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to  

[92 dB(A) – 25 dB] dB(A) .

Caution: 

For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hertz (Hz), 

the C-weighted environmental noise levels should be used .

Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise .  
Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fit .

Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the  
harmful effects of impulsive noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on 
the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the 
protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire .
