Howard Leight by Honeywell Maximum Lite UF Foam Ear Plugs (NRR 30)

These don't hurt at all when I lay on my ears, but they get old like other ear plugs. Then, I have to replace them. When they are new, they stay smooshed for so long that I easily get them in my ears.

These work great and I can wear them all day comfortably

Soft, comfortable, yet very effective at blocking out noise. I've used these every night for the past 6 years. They block out the nearby traffic noise and help me get a great night's sleep. Will continue to purchase for a long time.

Used the Softest and Smallest Sample Pack to hone in on what may work best for me. These were my #2 choice behind a Moldex style. Bought 25 of these to have on hand. Great fit for me. Soft. Durable and doesn't irritate the ear as some of the others do. We're all unique so try a bunch and find what works best for you. These have been to keep out unwanted night sounds while sleeping, work well for this application. Nice straight forward company to deal with. Nice array of products available.

These fit my smaller ear canals, where most simply do not. Also - the one review here who mentioned these do not totally block sound- I'm pretty sure she was not getting them fully in. It's definitely possible to not get them all the way down, if you do not spend a few moments rolling and really compressing- and wiggling them in. I find when they are all the way in- they make it almost impossible to hear my chain saw; and normal noise is totally blocked. If they're just a little out - some sound gets through.

I have tiny ear canals and these have been the best so far. They are comfortable for sleeping on my side. I still have trouble getting them to stay in my ears.

I tried these as part of the sample pack and they are my favorite. I did not know if I had a smaller/ shorter ear canal but I tried all kinds of store bought ear plugs and my ears were starting to hurt so badly. I wasn't sure if it was pressure or if they were damaging my ears. I thought softer ones would be better for me so ordered the sample pack. These are the best ones (although I've only tried 3). They give me absolutely no issues with insertion or pain during or after sleeping, even on my side. The noise blocking is tremendous which is great b/c my husband snores terribly. I also liked the HL brand that is red and yellow, they were soft too, but these are the best.

I have tried some different types of earplugs, but these are the best I have ever tried. After a while they get a bit hard to get into the ear, but a bit of hand cream will make it easy and block out even more sound.

Can't sleep without them!!! Cuts the dewcibels of my husband snoring so I can sleep.

I wear non-disposables every day at work and do NOT have a small ear canal. My wife on the other hand has smaller canas and complains (loudly :O) that her EARS HURT when she wears plugs for sleeping. I put this down to a denser plug causing pressure on the ear canal, especially on the lying side. These plugs are magnificent because they are small enough and ultra soft to form a perfect seal and not feel like you've got much in at all. I know they're meant to be disposabel but we can wear a pair for a month or so and all they get isa bit waxy - if you can handle them looking a bit grubby they still work perfect.

Of the Softest and Smallest earplug assortment pack, these were my favorites. They compress nicely, are super comfortable (most earplugs get painful for me after a while), and block out most of the noise. I'd hate to sleep in my college dorm without them!

These are very good for those who have smaller, shorter ear canals or would like to be able to dull sound but not deaden it. You can still hear some noise through these plugs. They are very soft and comfortable to insert and wear, but I prefer plugs with a tighter fit and that go deeper into the ear canal.

I was skeptical about these, as they look bigger than some of the other plugs in the "Softest/Smallest" trial pack I was going through; but in fact they turned out to be the most comfortable for me for use while sleeping. Although they are fatter and longer than some other comfortable ones (like the Peltor Tatoo), they are the ones I'm going to use from now on. The noise reduction is adequate at diminishing the noise of the hissing from a nearby CPAP machine, and these plugs do not irritate or annoy at all.

Very few earplugs work well for me--these are effective, light, comfortable, and do not irritate my ears, all at an affordable price. I use earplugs every night and in many waking situations, because of sound hyper-sensitivity. I am very grateful to have these earplugs available.

I ordered these for my wife who has trouble sleeping. She is very hard to fit with plugs and has tried them all, she loves these. THANKS!!
