Wax earplugs are made of soft wax blends, sometimes mixed with cotton or lanolin. They mould to the entrance of the ear canal and provide moderate noise reduction for limited situations. Wax plugs are classified as disposable, and they require replacement after short use periods. Their purpose is basic protection in environments with steady background sound, but they also come with several drawbacks compared to reusable options.
