(1 Pair) - from Pure (Beeswax) - Highest NRR 34 Sound Blocking - Perfect Ear Plugs for Sleeping - 100% Snore Blocking - Waterproof for Swimming

(I am the wife of the purchaser indicated here, for what it's worth.)I am cursed with Princess and the Pea hearing. During the day, I hear every word of all the conversations in neighboring offices. I can distinctly hear a phone ring on the other side of a large college campus building and know whose phone it is from the tone. It's part acute hearing, part acute audio processing, and all TOTALLY ANNOYING. More important, at night, I wake up if a squirrel farts in a tree outside. OK, minor overstatement, but house creaking, dogs walking, husband snoring, cars driving by, young daughter dreaming--all these things prevent me from falling asleep, and then once biology forces me to pass out, these things wake me several times a night. I have spent years, seriously, like at least twenty years, miserable and unrested because of it.Ear plugs are the obvious solution, but I also have tiny ear canals -- the kind that have caused doctors my whole life long to ask, and then ask again, disbelievingly, whether I have tubes in my ears. (I don't.) I am completely unable to use any kind of foam ear plugs, no matter how small. It is utterly impossible to roll anything up and insert it into my ear canals. I have also tried the silicone type that are similar to these wax ones, but they just don't stay in very well and they lose their stick right away, and for some reason I have found them uncomfortable and a little frustrating.Having reached the point of thinking I was going to have to move into my own apartment, preferably subterranean, away from my family and pets, in order to get some sleep, I finally decided to give ear plugs one final try, and I splurged on these.THEY WORK LIKE FREAKING MAGIC.This material is far superior to silicone. They soften to a much better consistency for pressing into the outside of the ear, and they remain sticky for much longer, so they stay in and seal out the sound all night long.They are actually comfortable. With my tiny ears, I actually tear just one in half and use half in each ear, and it works perfectly. I don't get the uncomfortable ear pressure that I for some reason do with the silicone ones that don't work as well anyway. I hardly feel them!The decibel reduction is amazing. It isn't quite artificial deafness, but the snoring and dogs scratching at the door are so faint and far away that I can not only sleep through it, I can actually fall asleep while it is going on. I cannot hear the busy street outside my window at all. I. SLEEP. THROUGH. THE. NIGHT.The only drawback to these is that they do indeed leave a little blue smudge on your pillowcase if you are a side sleeper. The solution is to invest in a beautiful new set of dark colored linens. You'll want and deserve them for your newfound joy of sleeping anyway.Honestly, I'd give these six stars if I could. Ten. These earplugs have made it possible to sleep through the night after twenty years of wanting to cry every morning after a fitful night of being disturbed by the swirling of stardust in an adjacent galaxy.I hope they work as well for you.

I have used these for 15 years. I kept buying them. Long story short, early in my marriage I found out I am a super sensitive light sleeper. Like I can hear vehicles driving or people talking outside closed windows about 2 city blocks away. My spouse has severe sleep apnea, and due to not sleeping i formed insomnia, depression and almost lost my job and caused huge marital problems.These earplugs after I tried sleep aids, and about 30 earplugs brands saved everything.They seal out more noise then all others. Don't press into your ear canal causing nausea, and are made of a natural material that is not uncomfortable to sleep on. I will be buying these forever basically.Tips, make sure to soften them in your fingers before use. Gently press them into your ear, across your ear. They can create a huge amount of pressure in your ear from the seal so when you push them in do it gently with even pressure not just your thumb. When they are sealed and you need to remove them be careful.Grab a corner of them and slowly peel them back, as the seal is so great you can cause ear drum pain, or even hearing damage.You can tell when you need new ones as they will feel greasy, and ,/or be cracked and not that pilable like old play dough. They also won't sealed well and keep falling out.You will get blue in your ears from these, so make sure to use something to clean your eyes or people will tell you haha.They are pricey but a quality of life upgrade.

After trying multiple types of ear plugs over several years, Mighty Plugs are indeed the best. Because they soften and become very pliable, they will mold to any ear shape. They block all but the loudest of noises and if you add a little to each from another Mighty Plug, they will block everything. I have used them for several years and the only worry I've had is that they might go out of business some day!
