OHROPAX Classic earplugs

OHROPAX is a renowned German brand that revolutionized personal hearing protection in the early 20th century. The product was invented by Maximilian Negwer in 1907, who was inspired by Ulysses' ancient sailors who filled their ears with wax to avoid distraction. The wax-based 'Classic' earplugs were officially launched in Berlin in 1908 and became a staple for both civilians and soldiers seeking noise reduction.

To this day, OHROPAX remains a family-owned business, maintaining its headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Germany. The production process integrates high-quality ingredients like vaseline, paraffin wax, and cotton wool to create their signature moldable earplugs. The brand has expanded its portfolio beyond wax to include silicone and foam variants, but the original Classic version remains the cornerstone of its heritage and global identity.
