PQ Wax Ear Plugs for Sleep - 6 Silicone Wax Earplugs for Sleeping and Swimming - Gel Ear Plugs for Noise Cancelling, Wax Plugs Protect Ears While Sleeping with Sound Blocking 32 Db (6-Pillows), Blue

These ear plugs cut down so much noise for me! They are just what I need. I couldn't tell you how many decibels, but I can't hear the crickets on our noise machine! It's amazing when I pull that first plug out and can hear what I would usually hear and the other one is extremely muted. So why silicone wax noise plugs for noise cancellation? I have incredibly small ears, so I can't do any earbuds that go in my ear canal because they hurt me. Also, I am a side sleeper so I need something that doesn't press on my ear when I'm sleeping. I thought I wanted a noise cancelling head set that went over my ear somehow, but I just couldn't find a good (or affordable) bluetooth or wireless solution, and I'm getting kind of cautious about devices that emit signals that go through my head anyway. Then I found these! You get to decide how they fit and they don't stick outside your ear, so there is no pressure from them when I'm sleeping on my side. I got a set of 3. each in separate small plastic boxes, making them highly portable and shareable. The only tiny downside I can say I've seen so far is that sometimes a hair or two will stick to it just a bit. Just pull it off, no pain. To start you just roll one in your fingers to warm it up then place it in your ear and press it in to cover your ear canal; just do not press it into the canal. They are so easy to work with. Just start over if it doesn't feel right. They do not hurt my ears at all and I really appreciate this product. I Highly Recommend these ear plugs!

I bought them to try when sharing a sleeping space traveling, but use for swimming instead. I’m sure they help with sleeping as well! I can tell how muffled sound is, even in the pool.

As directed, it does help to warm the putty in your hands as it makes it more pliable :) It takes a few times to get the placement in your ear correct; don't aim for plugging the ear canal, but the whole area around the canal instead. Think of it as more of a cover rather than a plug. These dampen the overall sounds but I was hoping it would help more for silence at bedtime for me. My main concern/issue is that the substance is sticky (which helps it adhere to your ear's surface)..it grabs and tugs at my long hair. Yes, I can put my hair in a ponytail but can't sleep with it pulled back like that. The best I can do to limit that is to do a side braid away from the ear as much as possible but strands still get stuck in :( This will work for me during the day, only.

I was desperate for something to muffle the sound of my downstairs neighbors dog that barks constantly. It was loud enough that I'd be woken up through any foam earplugs I tried. I can finally sleep again until I'm able to move out of here. Being a side sleeper, these are easily the most comfortable ear plugs I've ever slept in. They're flush with/recessed enough inside your ear that they don't get bumped around by the pillow when I toss and turn. I've only had one fall out once in the few weeks I've used these so far, while with foam plugs that was every other night. The wax plugs themselves are a bit finicky to use, if you press too close to the center as you're inserting them it creates an uncomfortable suction effect. But if you don't press close enough to the center it doesn't seal and block noise as well. Overall takes a few minutes to get these in properly vs a few seconds for foam plugs. The biggest issue is these are slightly tacky, which they need to be in order to stick inside your ears. They collect hair and lint during use and only stay reasonably clean for a few days, and there's no good way to clean them once they get dirty. If one falls out while sleeping it will most likely need to be thrown out regardless of how long it's been in use. The set of 3 here is a good way to try these out, but I'm definitely getting the larger pack next time

Excellent product with effective noise canceling results. The plugs are very pliable, easy to use and the individual case for each pair keeps them clean and reusable.
