What are earplugs?

Earplugs are small hearing protection devices that reduce how much sound enters the ear canal, the passage that transmits sound toward the hearing system and determines how noise is physically delivered to the ear. They are commonly used in noisy situations where sound may affect hearing, increase the risk of hearing loss, influence tinnitus, or exceed workplace noise limits defined by OSHA standards, which establish when and how noise exposure must be controlled. Rather than blocking all sound, earplugs lower noise to safer levels while allowing the ears to function naturally.
