Achieving the correct fit is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Each set of Loop earplugs comes with four adjustable silicone ear tip sizes (XS, S, M, L) to ensure a proper seal in your ear canal.

3.1 Selecting Ear Tip Size

1. Begin by trying the medium (M) size ear tips.
2. Insert the earplug into your ear. It should fit snugly without causing discomfort.
3. The earplug should not stick out or be visible from the front when properly inserted.
4. If the earplug feels loose, doesn't provide adequate noise reduction, or feels like it might fall out, try a larger size.
5. If the earplug feels too tight, causes pressure, or is uncomfortable, try a smaller size.
6. Experiment with different sizes until you find the most comfortable and secure fit that provides effective noise reduction.
