Does anyone know how many earplugs one gets for $33? Cuz' it looks like one to me...


Disposable Ear Plugs pprice2('P104','32.95','TD1,TD2');$32.95 qandi2('P104','0.00','0','','1');

if(addImgToPop){addImgToPop('ProductImage-Shop.SellerLink(__Reference)[__Loop1].ID',new Array('src=../media/earPlugs.jpg','w=300','h=170','title=','desc='));}

Larger picture
Maximum 33 dB attenuation is ensured when you use these pre-shaped foam ear plugs.

The smooth, soil resistant outer skin prevents dirt from penetrating the surface prior to insertion.

ITEM # EARPLUGS

They only sell them as pairs. Why would anyone buy just one? Unless someone is missing half their head.

That price is a rip off.

That's what I was wondering though. They can't be that price for one pair. It's crazy!

Maybe one box of a thousand? Something that is a better bargain, even if someone can't use that many.

I used these for over 25 years at the airline I worked for. They come in a box of 200 pairs, each in their own little sealed bag. But $33 is expensive. You can find them online for 20-23 easily.

They work well as long as you put them in correctly.

Any one want to bet every home will have mold ( mould in Canada ).
The test will always prove I was right this time.
