Ultimate Softness Series Foam Earplugs, 20-Pair

They work. I work at sea and sometimes I have to share a cabin with snorers/loud people. I have been using Hearos for 10+ years and they work for me. Of course everyone's ears are different - this is just my experience. I would recommend.

Foam earplugs hurt my ears, but wax ones don't keep enough noise out. I've tried five or six different types of earplugs over the past year or so, and the Hearos Ultimate Softness have come out on top and will be my repeat purchase in future despite the corny name. They last for several uses (depending on how clean you keep the insides of your ears) and are inexpensive. They really are softer than the other foam plugs I've tried, and more comfortable if used properly.It's reassuring to have so many of them -- I've distributed them between the places I regularly stay and will put some in my travel bag and handbag so that I'm not caught without them on a work trip or staying over at a friend's.I wish they were washable and reusable, if only to save on landfilling the foam rubber, but this hasn't been an option with any of the squash-roll earplugs I've bought. Hearos, please start marketing a small bottle of whatever it is you soak the foam rubber in to get it to squish down -- I'll buy it on the side and roll my own.Having said how soft and comfortable they are, if I don't fully insert these plugs, these still leave my ears sore in the morning. The trick seems to be to get nearly all of the earplug inside the ear canal so that there is an even pressure inside. To do this you need to master the art of rolling the plug down into a thin cylinder and quickly inserting it fully. Pulling the gristle of your ear slightly up, back and out and practising finding the right angle really do help. I still occasionally have to try four or five times for the left ear but it's well worth it for a good night's sleep.Note: on last use of these, I slept through the first three alarms of my partner's noisy electronic alarm clock, which is unusual for me. You may want to use an alarm that vibrates!

I have slept next to a loud snorer for many, many years now and it is very frustrating and my quality of sleep has suffered in that time. I went down the route of anti-snoring devices and nasal sprays for my partner but to no avail. I thought these were worth a try... I am over the moon that I took that risk as they work fantastically. Easy to press into a small piece and place in your ear drum, these then expand to the size of the opening and stay in place very securely. I have had many ear plugs in the past that fall out when asleep but these never have. They are easily cleaned and reusable so a pack should last as long as you want it to really. The noise that these block are amazing, nothing gets through!One slight negative is that when I awaken my ears a slightly sore where they have been, not a bad pain but a little discomfort from where they have expanded and lodged themselves. I actually think this is down to my rather small ears and the fact I have them in for 7-8 hours. You won't regret buying these if you are looking for ear plugs, I highly recommend.If you appreciated my review then please click on the “helpful” button.

I use these to drown out my boyfriends snoring... I have small ears (I think) and it took me a while to get the knack of putting them in but now I've worked it out they do well...Obviously I can still hear things like people talking to me (although my frequency usage of the word "what" has risen) and occasionally his snoring, it's not as ear splitting as normal and means I actually get to sleep (when he's not kicking me in the side and pushing me out the bed)... I even use them when he's not here if I have the fan on.One thing I don't like (but assume is the case with all in ear earplugs) is that by morning my ear canals ache a little - probably from the foam pushing on them due to me having lickle ears... But since I only wear them once or twice a week it's not too bad

Not very comfortable because they are so thick. They are very soft and block noise VERY well. If they were thinner they could be superb, but they put too much pressure on the inside of the ear. They are not too bad if you only put the in a tiny bit.The cheapo (£1 for a pack of 10) orange silicone ones are more comfortable than this. They have a long handle kinda thing sticking out of them but I often shorten that with scissors. These Hearos certainly block much more noise, even if you don't put them in very far.I suppose you might be able to make these thinner with scissors, but I guess it might not be very reusable if you do that.Not bad for £5 for a pack of 20 pairs. Delivery wasn't very fast which was annoying, but I don't regret buying these.

I used to have great trouble sleeping. The slightest noise would wake me, and then getting back to sleep always seemed impossible.After trying a few other brands and materials, I have found these to be the best. They are able to cut out all but the most noticeable of sound. Don't get me wrong, your partner will not e able to watch t.v. at normal volume whilst you are trying to sleep. That said I have not been able to top these.No residue from wax, and the foam is soft enough to be comfortable.If these are the first you have tried, it may take a couple of nights to get used to the initial feeling of pressure, but you will soon miss it if its not there.I have also found that the sensory deprivation that comes with wearing them, helps with the process of getting to sleep. No more lying for hours counting sheep.Great product, and I will continue to purchase for years to come.****Update****They recently changed the design of these. They are now even easier to remove thanks to a more rounded tip. My other half always worried about not being able to retrieve them if they went too deep. No longer a concern.
