The original Ohropax earplugs were wax noise protection for human ears. The first Ohropax earplugs were sold in a tin box containing six pairs of balls of wax. Today, there are also foam, silicone and plastic models on the market. Incidentally, the term Ohropax is a combination of the words "Ohr" (German for ear) and "Pax" (Latin for peace).
