- 1). Buy the earplugs based on who uses them. For example, buy a child's size for a child. An adult-sized earplug won't fit a child's ear properly. Remove the clean earplug from the packaging. Hold the base of it with your thumb and forefinger. One commonly used type of earplug is the type that you rub between your palms to compress to a smaller size before inserting them.
- 2). Slowly insert the earplug into your ear canal. Do not push. If using the compressed earplug, insert the compressed plug into your ear. The earplug expands to fill the ear canal.
- 3). Repeat with the other earplug.
- 4). Place the earmuffs over your ears. They should be snug and not slip or fall down.
- 5). Remove the earplugs after the event. Keep the volumn down on radios and televisions for the rest of the day to help your ears.
