Sound Amplification
3M Peltor EEP-100 Electronic Ear Plugs feature built-in omni-directional microphones to pick up external sound, which is then amplified so the wearer can hear ambient noise, but at a safe level. This facilitates communication and helps preserve situational awareness, keeping the user more connected to their environment, and keeping them safer than traditional non-electronic hearing protection can.
Internal volume is limited to a safe 82dB, which means users cannot damage their hearing with amplified sound. This keeps the EEP-100 in compliance for use in OSHA-controlled workplaces, making these electronic ear plugs ideal for workers in a variety of industries. Volume limiting means the EEP-100 remains safe to wear and listen to all day, every day.
Noise Blocking: NRR 23-27
3M Peltor EEP-100 Electronic Earplugs provide moderate (NRR 23) to moderately-high (NRR 27) noise blocking, depending on which of the included tips you choose. (Skull Screws ear tips - sold separately - may also be used with the EEP-100 to increase the NRR to 30dB.) Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) testing in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 standards.
Easy to Wear & Easy to Use
Ultra-lightweight design makes the EEP-100 comfortable to wear with little fatigue even after long hours of use. The extremely low-profile fit ensures the earpieces won't get in the way or obstruct your ability to wear hats and most PPE headgear.
Streamlined one-button operation lets you power the earpieces on and off and adjust the volume all from a single intuitive button. Three volume steps provide your choice of listening at low, normal, or high volume.
Rechargeable + Charging Case
The 3M EEP-100 features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can provide an impressive 16 hours of continuous operation, so it can work as long and hard as you do. Recharge via the included pocket-sized charging case (approx 180 minutes charge time), which features a charging status indicator. Micro USB charging cable included.
The charging case also features a rubber sealing ring to keep water out and your ear plugs clean and dry. Both the charging case and the earpieces are IP54 weather-resistant.

I've been using these for a couple years, and they do the job for me. I work outdoors with heavy machinery, driving trucks, using jackhammers, etc. I need to hear my co workers , and also need protection from sudden and constant noise. Ear muffs and foamies didn't cut it, because I wouldn't be using them when sudden noise happened.
I already have moderate hearing loss from many decades of abuse, and while I wish I could turn these up a little, I have to believe someone with more normal hearing would hear quite well.
Because they amplify, I can also wear them under my 2- way communications earmuffs for extra protection and/or to comm with my partners.
