Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)
Record Serial Number Here:
Note: If product has no serial number, record
month and year of purchase instead.
Note: Replacement parts are not available.
The EPA has selected the NRR as the measure of a
hearing protector’s noise reducing capabilities. Harbor
Freight Tools makes no warranties as to the suitability
of the NRR as a measure of actual workplace
protection since such protection is highly dependent
on user training, motivation, and utilization. A better
estimate of workplace protection can be obtained by
derating the labeled NRR by 50%.
The NRR calculated from this attenuation data is 26.
Improper t of this device will reduce its effectiveness in
attenuating noise. Consult instructions for proper t.
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when a hearing
protector is worn as directed, is closely approximated by
the difference between the A-weighted environmental
noise and the NRR.

Example:
1.)Theenvironmental noise level as measured at theearis 92
dBA.
2.) The NRR is 26 decibels (dB).
3.) The level of noise entering the ear is approximately
equal to 66 dBA.
CAUTION! For noise environments dominated by
frequencies below 500 Hz, the C- weighted environmental
noise level should be used.
The NRR used in the above example was achieved under
laboratory conditions.
Although hearing protectors can be recommended for
protection against 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 gunre.
