NOISE REDUCTION RATING (NRR)

• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has chosen the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) as the measure of a hearing protection device’s noise-reducing capabilities.

• The NRR for the Elgin Discord, calculated from laboratory-based attenuation data, is 25 decibels. Improper fitting of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the instructions in this guide for proper fit.
  Example: If the noise level of your environment measures 100 dB(A), the level of noise entering the ear upon using the Elgin Discord is approximately equal to 75 dB(A).

• Elgin makes no warranties as to the suitability of the NRR as a measure of actual protection from any noise level since such protection depends on the sound level (loudness), how long you listen to the loud sound and how well you fit the earbuds in your ears.

• The audio level in the hearing protector is dependent on the audio input level of the device it is connected to. It is the user’s responsibility to set the audio input level to a safe level.

Your Elgin earbuds feature an IP65 rated enclosure that protects against dust, sweat and water. The Discord is not designed for swimming, showering or prolonged submersion in water. In case of submersion in water, quickly remove from water and air dry before use.
