Hearos Radical Protection Foam Ear Plugs, Hearing Protection, NRR 33, 12 Pair, Orange (5801)

These ear plugs work great! They’re soft, easy to insert, and block out noise really well. I use them for sleeping and they stay in all night without hurting my ears. Definitely my go-to brand — consistent quality and great value.

Recently had to share a room with 2 other people and dreaded the thought of the resulting noise. Sleep is already difficult for me. Got some of these and swapped them out for a fresh pair every night (not necessary, but recommended). Over 42 consecutive nights, these ear plugs never failed to block out most of, if not all, of the distractions. Keep in mind- ear plugs do not necessarily stop the noise completely; they greatly mute it and block SOME of the sounds completely. Many things get through, however they are so faint that it's a nonissue. They almost always went in perfectly and stayed snug. I have worn other ear plugs for extended periods and over time they cause irritation. I was really surprised that these ear plugs never cause any discomfort at all. IMO the soft silicon plugs do a slightly better job, but they've always caused problems when worn for more than about 10-12 days at a time. Also, remember that at some point, no passive ear plugs will help.

Ok, so I love these! My brother introduced me to these and I will be forever grateful. I have small ear canals (so does he, darn genetics,) so I usually can't find foam ear plugs that fit. So I doubted him when he told me about these. Then he gave me a pair to use before my nap at the beach and these babies fit perfectly! They took me a little to figure out how to get in, but once they are in there is no struggle, the stay right away! They are comfortable. They don't move around while I sleep or irritated my ears. Their design is no different from other ear plugs of the same kind, but I promise you they are better. I tried another brand because I thought they looked cooler and the cost a little less, but I could tell the difference. I put this brand in one ear and the other brand in my other and then reversed them. Hearos were definitely better. The fit better, were more comfortable, stayed in without falling out at all and definitely blocked the noise better. I actually have to turn my alarm to full volume and keep my phone near my head or I will sleep right through the alarm because the Hearos work so well. If you have been having trouble finding quality foam ear plugs, your search is over!!

Complaints that ear plugs are getting too small are correct on the Macks I ordered. These Hearos Iordered may be smaller than in the past but not necessarily "to small." I have an average ear canal and unlike others, these Heraos did not "disappear" uncomfortable into my ear like the macks. How far I slide these Hearos into my ear canal is defined more by me, not by the small size of the ear plugs for fear of sliding in too far. Four stars because they may be a bit too stiff for some, but they still have that added, flared "lip" on the outer side for better grip in pulling them out. You are still going to feel ear pressure and they are not going to cancel the sound of somone chopping fire wood in the next room. But I've found these the best so far for canceling the sound through my window from a stereo next door in the alleyway.

These are the best earplugs I have been able to find. They really block out the noise, but still allow you to hear things like your alarm clock and things that you want to wake you up.

Perfect for Monster truck show. Worked very well. Easy to use

My partner snores. Loudly. I use earplugs every night. These are the best I have found for comfort and noise elimination. Note I used the word elimination not reduction.

These earplugs don't have the same duration of use as before. (I could use them multiple times, but not any more (now a couple of times at most). They also don't retain their maximum volume as long - so they can get "lost" in my ears and I almost have to use a tweezer to get them out! ]:-{
