I have tried almost everything out there. I am a very light sleeper and have been using these daily for over 10 years. These are great, your ears don't hurt but your sleep is not disturbed. LOVE THESE - just bought several more pairs to keep in different places so I'M never without them!

A n excellent product, but not for my ears
May 21, 2023
It's a beautifully made product, but the shape is not what my ears need for sleeping next to a snorer. The medium size was too large for my ears. The small fit into the ear canal but not without a tremendous amount of struggle to squeeze in the red bulb. I had hoped that the flower-petal type of flange would not protrude too much, so that resting on a pillow would not push the ear plug too deep. Alas, the flange was a bit too long and rigid. The better alternative for me is one of those triple-mushroom-shaped ear plugs with the long stem; I just cut the stem shorter, but I have to be very accurate as to its length. I hope this helps people looking for the right ear plug for themselves.

These earplugs work so well that I can't sleep without them! I've ordered the extra small pair for a decade and take them with me any time I need to sleep or concentrate. They are small, soft, and block out noise--a must-have for light sleepers. No more annoying foam ones that don't stay in all night! Plus, the cute little container is a bonus.

Surprisingly Effective!
November 28, 2022
I tried three earplugs before buying Silent Ear. I was skeptical that they would work better than plain foam earplugs, but I was pleasantly surprised. My need was hearing protection in an extremely loud (111 to 118 decibel) MRI machine. Silent Ear worked VERY well to reduce noise! I'd had an MRI in the same machine a few weeks before using Silent Ear plugs, so I was able to objectively compare the difference. Highly recommended!

Same pair for 10 years and still like new
June 11, 2022
No kidding, I bought my first pair in 2012 to reduce terrible neighbor noise while I slept. I still have the same pair from that purchase and use them every single night. As far as effectiveness, I believe they are the best earplugs on the market for regular noise reduction. And they well worth the money to try because if they work for you, if you keep them clean (which is ridiculously easy), and you keep track of them, they will last you for the long haul. I'm back on the site 10 years later to grab a backup "just in case" and to grab a set for my spouse.

Thanks my go to plug for gigs, really any situation where it gets loud.
I tell folks its like having your own "clicker" when you want to "tone it down" a bit. Great fit and with the clear flange, not real noticeable, all in the plus column! Don,t leave home without em! By Anonymous
These work to block bass

Great ear plugs, I never leave home without them.
October 1, 2021
These ear plugs are great. Easily portable and effective. I keep them on my keychain so that I always have them in case situations get too loud
Granted I have to buy a different set with a better metal case and use that to carry them around. They're also subtle so I can wear them in everyday situations to bring the volume down and most people never notice (busy offices, loud movies, noisy shows, etc.) Pros

Well made, but they don't fit
March 23, 2021
I was really hoping these would work out, but they aren't large enough for my ear canals and let in too much noise. I tried to insert them a bit deeper in case that was the problem but then they put pressure on the ear drum. I ended up going back to a foam pair on the test ride as these just didn't work and were letting in far too much road noise.

Great Reusable Alternative To Foam Throw Away Ear Plugs!
December 4, 2020
These are great! Not only are they reusable, but they are well made and sturdy for repeated use.
I ordered the average size which turned out to be too big for me. I ended up losing one so I'm going to reorder the smaller ones. Pros

Works well with the right size
November 23, 2020
I have used these for years for lawn mowing and they work very well. They block the noise well and are relatively comfortable and have lasted a long time. However, the key is getting the right size. When I originally ordered years ago, the trial pack came in three sizes - small, medium, and large. The small size is what was best for me as my ear openings are on the small size. I couldn't even get the large in my ears at all and the medium would go in but were painful and eventually would work their way out of my ear.. I recently mislaid my original pair, so went to order a replacement. I discovered that they now evidently only come in small and average sizes. Fortunately for me, the small is still the same size as it was, but I think the reason some reviewers say they don't work well for them is they can't get ones that are large enough for their ears. So, if you have large ear openings, you probably need to look elsewhere. If your ear openings are small or average, these should work well for you.
