Try at your own risk
May 26, 2023
Was excited to try but none of the provided sizes fit (too small). Can't return since they are a trial pack.

SilentEar Two-Pair ComboPack (NRR 32) (1 Pair Each - Average + Small)
July 29, 2022
These are best ear plugs I ever bought. First, the two sizes are great to compare. I chose average. I 've had foam plugs for years and never really fit right. They would keep slipping out and worse if your ear canals were sweaty. For the price, you can't get silicone with NR32, unless you spend big bucks for professional customs.

Needs a larger size
July 18, 2022
I have fairly large ear canals and neither of the tested items was sufficiently large to provide the advertised NRR.

neither fit
January 14, 2022
This sounded like a good idea because they were re-usable, but neither pair fit at all, even when following the directions.

The small was too small and the medium just didn't sit well. Maybe too small...

The small was too small and the medium just didn't sit well. Maybe too small... I can't recommend these.

Not bad, just not as comfortable as foam
May 5, 2021
These ear plugs aren't terrible, just not what I was looking for. Since they are all silicone, they create a suction in the ear that's not the most comfortable. I was looking for a reusable version, but I may just go back to the foam because they're much more comfortable.

Great for use with MRI of the brain
April 12, 2021
My adult son has sensitive hearing and has had to undergo several MRI’s of his brain. He said these helped
him with noise reduction considerably. The centers usually provide earplugs but they barely worked for him and he can’t use the ear muffs so was happy to find these. Pros

Very comfortable but expensive and not silent
November 8, 2020
These are much more comfortable but no better at blocking sound than much cheaper foam earplugs. So if you're looking for something that blocks as much sound as an ordinary earplug but is more comfortable, I recommend these. But if you're looking for an earplug that blocks more sound than an ordinary earplug, you'll likely be disappointed.

Too small
October 5, 2020
Both sizes were too small for me and did not block out sound any more than standard foam earplugs like Macks which you can purchase about 150 of them for the same price. Customer service was nice enough to allow me to return them, but I will probably not get around to it.

Comfortable, effective earplugs
August 4, 2020
I've tried many types of earplugs, and these are my favorite. I find them easier to use and more comfortable than the foam ones, while providing the same level of noise attenuation. I was thinking about buying custom earplugs, but these work so well that I don't need to.

Not worth it
August 1, 2020
Based on other reviews and the significant noise reduction ratings I tried these out. I found them to be nearly impossible to insert into my ears, making them useless. I'm not sure why but they just didn't work for me.

SilentEar ear plugs are available in small and average sizes. Just like all ear plugs, a good seal is critical to maximum performance. To help you get the right fit we offer a two-pair ComboPack with both the average and small sizes included. If you have not tried SilentEar ear plugs before, we highly recommend that you consider buying the ComboPack, and we have discounted the price to encourage you to do so.
