HangqiaoE.A.R. Classic Ear Plugs Pack 20 Pairs

Being a light sleeper and living on a busy road, getting a good night's rest has always been a bit of a struggle for me. When I'm asleep, or just as I'm about to nod off, some noisy car or lorry zooms or rubbles past the window and jolts me back awake. Again. And again. And again.I am so pleased (and relieved) that I got these. I have found these little plugs do the job for me, much better than I could have hoped for. They come in individually packaged little boxes as sets of two. They are about 19 mm long and 13 mm across (see photo - pair in the middle) and are made from a sort of soft memory foam, which adapts to the contours of your ear canal when inserted.You need to make sure they are properly fitted (you don't just stuff them in, as I did the first time I used them without looking at the box!). You roll them up between your thumb and fingers until they are thin and then gently insert into your open ear. They then expand in you ear cavity to block out sound). There are even videos on YouTube showing you how to do it. I found it took a bit of trial and error to fit them perfectly (A slight roll between the fingers as I gently inserted them tended to do the trick for me).They didn't block out sound completely (I didn't really expect them to, to be honest), but definitely reduced it significantly and also "dulled" the higher pitched noises too. I found it much easier to get to sleep and stay asleep, once there.I also found an unexpected advantage of using these was, because I knew they worked, I was less anxious about getting to sleep (I wasn't lying there just waiting for the next loud noise to disturb me) so I found I was much more relaxed to begin with when going to bed and so got to sleep even easier!A couple of points. Even though they are very comfortable, even when lying on them, I found it took about a week to get completely used to wearing something in my ear. If you have the same problem, I'd recommend sticking with them, you will quickly get used to them and the reward of a good night's sleep is definitely worth the effort.Wished I tried these years ago.I have also tried two other kinds of foam ear plugs;Firstly; 3M 1100 Earplugs B018RIA3L2 (the left hand pair in the picture). These are made from a slightly smoother feeling "foamy" material than the "1100" type. The have the same diameter as the "classic", but are slightly longer and have a tapered end. I found these just about as effective as keeping the noise out. (5 stars)Secondly; Laser Lite Ear Plugs by Honeywell SNR 35dB Earplugs (B018RIA3L2) (the right hand pair in the picture). I found these okay. While they are made from the softest foam of the three, I found them the least comfortable to wear, for some reason and I didn't think they kept the sound out quite as well for me as the other two types, so 3 stars, for me personally.One final point. Because everyone is different, one of these styles of plug may not work for you, however, I would recommend trying out others until you find the right one for you. I know what it's like to be kept awake. It wears you down. Please keep looking. Don't give up. There are so many different types on the market and the right for you will be out there.

Great earplugs - by far the best I've ever tried and I've tried (and thrown away) loads! All you do is roll them until they are very thin and then push them into your ears and wait a few seconds for them to expand and fill the ear cavity. They stay thin for a short while, giving you plenty of time to get them right into your ears - something that the softer, spongier types don't do. After use, they are a bit misshapen so just wash them in some hot soapy water, squeeze them in a towel and leave them to dry. They can be used over and over again if you wash them afterwards so this pack of 20 pairs should last a pretty long time.I'd say the noise stopping ability is around 97% - enough for you to get off to sleep before your other half starts sawing logs or your noisy neighbour gets back from the pub and continues the frivolity until the early hours!

So after taking a night job I soon realised I needed something to help me fall sleep in the daytime as the relentless lawmowers, door bell ringing and upstairs neighbors walking around was really taking its toll. Anyway on to the earplugs, I’ve previously been using the popular Howard leight pink and yellow ones but these were on offer at just over £2 so decided to give them a try. First impressions were good they come individually packaged in pairs. They are easy to insert because they’re more firm and have a slower reflex, just roll them as small as you can with your index finger and thumb and pull your ear out and down and insert. (This does take some practice) but you have ages to find the hole as it were because of how slowly the take to reform. I would say they are about the same comfort level even though they are a harder foam than the Howard ones, but for some reason they don’t seem to block out as much noise. On the upside though they don’t make the inside of my ears hot and sweaty like some plugs do. Very good product overall but I think I will stick with the Howard Leight for the time being and maybe try a few others like the Macks range.

Firstly if you're drawn to these ear plugs because of the 3M logo displayed brazenly on the packaging then do not for a moment think that the product is in anyway associated with the 3M company. The 3M version has a company of origin of Poland and these are clearly manufactured in China so I very much doubt there is any affiliation there at all however this claim is completely unresearched to a fine degree of detail.More importantly they seem to serve little or no purpose with regards to helping you sleep when you have a partner who is inclined to launch into fits of princess snoring during the night. Now, let's make this clear my wife doesn't bellow out fits of snoring like a truffle hog locating truffles in the temperate forests of Europe whilst on performance related pay! However, I am a light sleeper so I thought these little beauties would be enough to enable us to continue to share the same bed. Alas no, the foam simple falls out of your ears, I have tried squashing them in to the point where I swear I have run the risk of them popping out the opposite side but after a few seconds the foam simply re-expands to its original shape and size and flops out onto your pillow! With regards to the short period of time the little squidgy yellow minion like ear defenders are actually in your ear I would say the noise cancelling is negligible.Obviously there is always the possibility that my mutant ears are the cause of all this disappointment and the potential breakdown of my marriage. In the spirit of fairness I have attached a picture of my right ear for your perusal. The left ear is very similar in physical size and general shape so saw no need to clutter the Internet with a picture of both. The high number of positive reviews of this product would suggest I do indeed have ears that fall outside of the range of what one would expect for an average human but I only report what I have found.

E.A.R. Classic ear plugs Pack 20 3M - ottimo per dormire, ma venditore novastore pessimoIl prodotto lo conoscevo da diversi anni, la prima volta pagato in farmacia oltre 7 euro per due coppie quindi ora a circa 10 euro per 20 coppie è un ottimo prezzo (in realtà novastore, nonostante la descrizione ha fatto la confezione da 19, forse un errore...).L'utilizzo è semplicissimo: si arrotola con le dita per assottigliarlo, si inserisce nel padiglione auricolare facendo si che la parte esterna non sporga dall'orecchio, si mantiene nella posizione per circa 10 secondi per permettergli di adattarsi alla forma del canale auditivo e voilà 28 db di attenuazione reali.I tappi sono realizzati da una schiuma di densità media, all'inizio potrebbe essere necessario abituarsi ma personalmente sono riuscito a tenerli senza fastidi per tutta la notte da subito.Come detto nel titolo sono ottimi per dormire in quanto danno un'attenuazione reale dei 28db, dichiarati su ogni confezione.Ogni paio è all'interno di una singola confezione apribile e richiudibile.Iin linea di massima riutillizzabili fino a quando non tendono ad indurire (a causa del grasso della pelle) e personalmente, pur avendo una pelle grassa, riesco a superare le 15/20 applicazioni.ATTENZIONE: NON SONO ASSOLUTAMENTE adatti per attività sul lavoro che richiedono interazione con gli altri o particolare attenzione all'ambiente circostante in quanto l'attenuazione è eccessiva.Riguardo al venditore novastore (francese), al di la dell'errore nel confezionare 19 pz piuttosto che 20 che può succedere, sono state le risposte (in lingua francese) alle mie segnalazioni in merito al problema che mi hanno lasciato perplesso:segnalato più volte che manca un pezzo nella confezione, ti risponde ogni volta IN FRANCESE inviandoti la fattura ma nessuna soluzione al problema riscontrato (forse problema sulla lingua? Ma!). Alternativa restituire il prodotto ma per circa 50 cent di valore neanche stampo i moduli di reso!Grazie per aver letto questa recensione, spero ti sia stata utile.
