What is the difference between NNR and SNR?

These values come from two different standards that measure how well hearing protection devices (like earmuffs or earplugs) reduce sound. In the US, we use the NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) for ANSI certification. In Europe, it's the SNR (Single Number Rating) for CE certification. Because the certification bodies use different calculation methods, SNR ratings are usually about 2-3 dB higher than NRR ratings for the same product. But both ratings reflect the same level of performance and functionality.

How-to

How do I insert my earplugs?

How to insert your Loop earplugs in three simple steps:

Hold the ring of the earplug between your thumb and index finger. Gently insert the ear tip into your ear canal.

Once you feel a gentle seal, give the plug a small twist toward the back of your head. It should sit snugly at the base of your ear, almost “locking” into place.

Adjust for a comfortable and secure fit. When properly inserted, the earplugs should be discreet from the front and stay put (even as you move).

Fit check:

Move your jaw from side to side—your earplugs should stay in place without shifting.

If they feel loose or fall out, try a larger size.

If they feel tight or stick out, go down a size.

It’s common to need different sizes for each ear.

Pro tips:

Clean your ear tips regularly with a damp cloth.

Don’t insert them too deep—just enough to seal the canal.

Remove slowly with a gentle twist to avoid discomfort.

How do I change the ear tips?

Swapping out your ear tips is simple. Here’s how to do it in four easy steps:

1. Gently pull the ear tip off your earplug.

2. Grab the new ear tip you want to use and hold it between your thumb and index finger.

3. Line up the ear tip with the earplug's stem and gently push and twist until it fits snugly. Having trouble with the silicone tip? Flip it inside out, push it onto the earplug, and then fold it back into place.

4. Pop them in your ears to see how they feel.
