Noton is a leading brand in the world of hearing, specialising in the creation of earplugs. Its products are of the highest quality and do not damage hearing. It is a brand belonging to Cederroth Laboratories, a Swedish company dedicated to personal care and health products. The company was founded in 1890 by Christian Cederroth. Noton earplugs are suitable for people who cannot rest because of excessive noise. Or people who work exposed to heavy machinery or loud noises. They do not impair hearing, but reduce the volume of sounds to prevent hearing loss. They also prevent the ears from coming into contact with wind or sand.
Noton products cover a wide range of earplugs in different formats. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's instructions for each earplug model. For correct fitting of Noton earplugs, the following steps should be carried out:
With completely clean hands, mould the earplugs with your fingers until they are thin cylinders.Pull the ear up and back with the opposite hand to straighten the ear canal and insert the moulded earplug. The ear canal is not a completely straight canal, so this movement will straighten the ear canal and insert the earplug. Hold your finger inside the ear canal. Then count out loud up to 20 while the earplug expands in the canal. After this time, if the earplug has been inserted correctly, your voice will sound muffled.
To check that the earplugs are in place, cover your ears with your hands and then remove them. If you do not hear a difference in the noise, the earplugs are not in place.
Otitis is a disease caused by inflammation in the ear, in most cases due to an infection. The most common type is known as otitis media, which is caused by inflammation of the middle ear (the area behind the eardrum). As a consequence of the ear infection, the ear may secrete a fluid which, depending on its nature, can be mucous, serous (water-like liquid) or purulent (pus). Otitis media is one of the most common diseases in children and one of the causes of hearing loss in very extreme cases. It is estimated that 70% of children have had an episode of otitis media. Noton earplugs prevent any foreign element from entering the ear canal.
Tips to prevent otitis include:
Avoid immersion in unhealthy water. Contaminated water is a breeding ground for germs that cause ear infections.
Dive slowly, as a hasty dive can lead to a sudden entry of water and the appearance of infection.
The ears should be dried thoroughly with the tip of the towel to remove any liquid from inside. This will prevent the development of fungus or infections due to moisture or even water plugs.
Do not use cotton buds or sharp objects to clean earwax and earwax, as this can obstruct the ear canal and worsen the blockage.
Avoid prolonged exposure to loud noise.
There are different types of Noton earplugs:
Foam earplugs insulate against noise, helping you to concentrate or fall asleep. They can be used to keep out water, wind or sand. They are usually made of polyurethane foam and are hypoallergenic. The texture of the material is smooth and soft, pleasant to the touch and does not cause discomfort. Once removed from the ear, they are reusable.
Wax earplugs are designed to prevent external elements from entering the ear. They are disposable.
Silicone earplugs are also designed to prevent any element such as sand, water or air from entering the ear. They are made of silicone which is more resistant than other materials and are easy to wash.
On the Farmaciasdirect website you can find noton earplugs to prevent the entry of any foreign element into your ears or simply to disconnect from noise.
