Hearos Ear Plugs - Xtreme Protection Series, 14 pr

Wouldn't buy any other brand, blocks out noise and comfort the wear would recommend

I've used a number of different disposable earplugs over the past year through work, on the motorcycle and when inconsiderate housemates are noisy at night or ridiculously early in the morning (which is most days in the last two places I've lived). These are the most comfortable earplugs I've ever used, even slightly more comfortable than the other hearos ones. Great noise reduction. Only downside may be that they are quite large. I've not had a problem putting them in, but someone with smaller ear canals might; my girlfriend finds it difficult to get them to stay in, but I can't be certain she's getting them in far enough in the first place.I've found making the ends as pointy as you can makes it much easier to get them far enough into your ears to be effective and stay in properly. Pulling your ear lobes down and back with the opposite hand seems to be the recommended technique as well. Once you've got the technique down it takes just seconds to fit each side. I've been using these most nights now, they've been a godsend. Now I never have to worry about not being able to sleep due to noisy, inconsiderate people (who there seems to be an awful lot of in this world). I often used to sleep terribly when starting in hotels working away, as there's always someone with their TV on late at night, or someone who likes to get up at 6am and is incapable of not slamming their door when they leave their room. Idiots.Definitely recommend these if your looking for quality disposable earplugs. I doubt you'll find anything better.

They work well, are comfortable to wear when your sleeping, great if you have a spouse that snores.

They are truly amazing, they completely & block out most sounds. I'm a really light sleeper & struggle to get to sleep with noise & these have worked really well.

Been buying these for years and were a lifesaver during a recent hospital stay. To say the other patients on the ward were envious would be an understatement!

I have been using Hearos Extreme Protection Series earplugs for years, they have been by far the best quality and most effective at noise reduction at this price. These new design 'easy grip' are awful. The material they are now made from feels so cheap and flimsy compared to the far denser original earplugs. They claim the same 33db NRR as the original but I find that impossible to belive as they let in far,far more noise than their previous original counterparts. Like other long time customers I have no idea why Hearos have done this, the only likely candidate I can think of is to save money. Well it saddens me to say they've saved themselves from getting many more years of my money as I won't be buying them again, unless of course Hearos see sense and bring back the truly excellent product these earplugs once were.

These plugs really are better than the rest IMHO. I was a bit worried when I saw they were made of similar material and of similar shape to others which have been hopeless for me. These are a much more dense foam, they all but eliminate my partner's snoring and work great when using a vacuum cleaner in confined spaces which is a nasty high frequency air movement noise. They are also surprisingly durable, I get about a month's wear assuming eight hours a night before they need replacing. Would probably protect you from excessive volume at events with amplified music, however like all general purpose ear plugs, they don't attenuate the frequencies evenly, so lots of roll-off in the high frequency.

"I need a hearo..." (cue Bonnie Tyler...) I have tried loads of different ear plugs - some quite expensive - some shaped like little cones, some rainbow coloured, some made of wax, etc; etc; These are the business! Comfortable to wear, they don't fall out, and they effectively block about 90% of extraneous noise: snoring partner, bass music from outside... Absolutely brilliant. I would just say - wear them consistently to get best effect. If you use them one night, but not the next, you don't get used to sleeping with them. Just stick em in every night, and I'm sure you'll be delighted. They squidge up nice and tight, and then unfurl quite strongly in the ear-drum: I used each pair for about a week, and after that they lose their 'bounce'. But - a bargain for a good night's sleep: just hope they never stop making them!"I need a hearo, I'm holding out for a hearo in the morning light..." (Sorry Bonnie)!
