Ohropax Classic wax earplugs

Ohropax Classic is one of the most recognized hearing protection products in Europe, with a history dating back to 1907. It was invented by the Berlin pharmacist Maximilian Negwer, who was inspired by the Greek legend of Odysseus to create a solution for the noise of the industrializing world. The product consists of a unique, time-tested mixture of cotton wool, petroleum jelly, and various paraffin waxes. This formulation has remained virtually unchanged for over a century, a testament to its effectiveness and popularity.

The product is manufactured in Germany, specifically in Wehrheim, Taunus, where the company's production facilities are located. Ohropax remains a family-owned enterprise, maintaining high quality standards through state-of-the-art machinery that they often develop themselves. In the Netherlands, the brand is distributed by companies such as OTC Medical BV, which ensures its availability in local pharmacies and retail stores.
