Product Focus and Description

Noton specializes exclusively in high-quality earplugs designed to protect hearing from loud noise, water, wind, and dust. They offer a wide range of types to suit different needs:

Foam Earplugs:
Made from soft polyurethane or other polymeric foam, these are ideal for noise reduction during sleep, study, or work in noisy environments. They expand in the ear canal for a custom, comfortable fit.

Wax Earplugs:
Composed of a blend of wax and cotton, these are highly adaptable to the individual ear shape and are often recommended for preventing water entry during activities like showering or light swimming, in addition to noise isolation.

Silicone Earplugs:
These are soft, moldable, and durable, primarily used for protection against water (e.g., swimming, bathing) and noise. They do not put pressure on the ear canal, making them comfortable for prolonged use, and are often reusable.

Specialized/Children’s Options:
The line includes specific options like smaller silicone plugs for children and partnerships for items like Noton 3M Polyurethane Ear Plugs.
The Noton brand is a market leader in Spain for ear protection products, known for its extensive range and high absorption levels.
