"I like this kind of ear plug. It doesn’t go inside your earlobe which is annoying. It’s like a playdoh that you have to squish on your ear. While it’s in your ear you can hear a tiny bit but not too disturbing while trying to sleep. It works."

"I was introduced to wax earplugs by my husband when I first rode on the back of his touring motorcycle. Surprise: it’s not the engine but the wind noise that the rider hears most intensely! We wear them in comfort all day, able to hear each other speaking with “indoor voices” over inside-helmet Bluetooth intercom, arriving less fatigued at the end of the day’s journey.

I liked the wax earplugs he has supplied me so much, I searched for a set of my own and found these in time for cross-country air travel. Very happy with the performance against jet engines and painfully loud intercom announcements and announcement signal pings. I could converse with my seat mates and rest peacefully overnight as well.

Performance was as expected. And I was pleased that they didn’t leave a blue stain in my ears like others I’ve used.

These easily customized earplugs come with two storage cases - for the set and for a pair discreetly stowed in pocket or purse. No reason not to bring them everywhere!

Use them and reuse them many times, then go on to the next pair. (Past experience with a similar product was that they get less malleable over time, and a bit dingy warmed and rolled in dirty hands; I can only speculate with my new set that I’ll know when it’s time for a fresh pair.)

We live in a loud world! I suspect many are losing their hearing earlier in life than in the past. My Lessons Learned:
1. Movie theaters have been too loud for years. Out of concern for our hearing, we always equipped our children with earplugs on our family movie outings. The last time I went to a movie with my daughter and grandchild, I forgot to bring earplugs. I had to leave after 20 minutes after no response to a request to lower the volume. The pain persisted for two days! I need to keep a pair of these with me at all times. This set makes it easy.
2. I attended my first and last indoor rock concert about 40 years ago; spent the whole concert with my hands over my ears. (F*** that!) As a classically trained musician, I knew I could not afford to lose one of my best assets: excellent hearing!
3. My husband’s career also depends on acute hearing. From industrial hearing protection to headsets for home power tool usage to motorcycle riding with wax earplugs that fit very comfortably under a helmet, he doesn’t mess around concerning his hearing. Neither should you, friend!

Thus, in my seventh decade, I can hear bird song, kids or cats getting into mischief, low voices, subtly rendered, non-amplified music performances, and so much more.

Please don’t take chances with your hearing. This product is simple, portable, and the earplugs work. Protect your ears and those of your loved ones.

You’ll also be supporting a small business, for the win. Not only did I receive prompt Amazon shipping, but a personal follow up from the vendor. A-plus!"

"Got these to cancel my upstairs neighbor noise. Shoes dropping, music, Siri, alarm clock. These decrease but don't completely cancel. They're better than the foam ones. I need to pull my hair back and put a cloth headband over my ears after inserting so my hair won't stick to them. They do leave a slight residue in my ears but this can be removed with a tissue or wash cloth. Overall they are the best I have found for blocking noise. Would buy again."
