This is a lookup database, not an explainer: the Noise Reduction Rating of every hearing protector we cover — 291 products: 175 earplugs, 96 earmuffs and 20 banded protectors — as stated on each live listing, captured 2026-07-18. For what NRR means and how the EPA label works, see What is NRR? ; for converting a rating into estimated field protection, see How to read the NRR . Every rating below is the manufacturer's labeled value — we do not test hearing protectors ourselves.

Earmuffs (96), highest NRR first
Banded protectors (20), highest NRR first
Worked example: from label to protected exposure
A worker at a measured 96 dBA TWA picks an NRR 33 foam plug from Part 2. OSHA 's derating method: 33 − 7 = 26; foam plugs field-derate by half → 13 dB estimated protection; 96 − 13 = 83 dBA protected exposure — under the 85 dBA action level, but with little margin, which is why insertion training matters more than shopping two more decibels. The same worker in an NRR 27 muff from Part 3: 27 − 7 = 20; muffs derate less severely in practice, but by the conservative halving method → 10 dB → 86 dBA: not enough alone, and the case for dual protection in high-dose zones. Where required levels come from: the hearing conservation standard guide and the hearing protection decision pillar ; ambient levels by source: the decibel levels chart .

Why trust WC Safety
WC Safety is an independent, affiliate-supported review site. It is not a retailer: it holds no inventory, takes no orders, and earns only from qualifying purchases through clearly marked links — which never changes what a product is rated to do. Standards language is taken from the regulation text directly, and ratings are reported as the manufacturer publishes them. We run no laboratory and perform no testing of our own. Where published sources disagree, we say so and plan on the conservative figure rather than the flattering one.
Our methodology
Figures come from the regulation and the published specification, in that order. Derated numbers are calculated, not estimated. Nothing here is presented as a measured result, because we measure nothing.
Researched and written by Steven Eaton , editor of WC Safety. Steven holds no safety certification and does not test products; this page compares what manufacturers and regulators publish, with the gaps in that record marked. Last reviewed August 2026.
