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!
Helpful instructions. Before using Silent Ear plugs, I never realized how to position my ear canals for a better fit!
Pricey. I don't understand why these earplugs are so expensive.

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.
They last and don't need to be replaced unless you loose them.
Seriously can't find any flaws.

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

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
Effective and they last a long time with minimal maintenance.
The case they come in is terrible. It breaks quickly with repeated use. Also would prefer a more subtle color than orange.
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.) By Nate

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.
Well made and the material is confortable
Plug is narrow and doesn't properly block noise in the ear canal.

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.
Great alternative to foam ear plugs.
Reuse them over and over.
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. By David

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.

These plugs seem sturdy and well made, so I don't doubt it will last long. However, it doesn't seem to match the rating of 32, I have a pair of foam plugs rated at the same but they feel quieter so I am not sure. Maybe the larger size would provide a better seal, but I wouldn't know because they don't make large. Basically disappointed..

I loved these ear plugs, and used my previous ones all the time. I panicked when I lost them, and quickly ordered some more. I use them when at church, as the music is way-too-loud., and around home where I have to put up with squeaking sparrows all day long.

would not fit properly in ear canal, had a hard time sealing, had to push in hard to seal, after opening and closing mouth they would break seal, expanding foam plugs much better, like hero's plugs.

I am older, and go to the gym and the music volume is so loud it turns my spiritual exercise workout into hell. I need ear plugs to block this out lower, so does not interfere my mental experience of exercising. This product was not usable at all for this---i was disappointed very much---for what profile said it would do, did not come close to doing that. And then i did more research and got these--that gun shooters use and they are excellent- SureFire-Defenders-Filtered-Earplugs-Reusable

These little earplugs saved my sanity and my life. I can pop them in easily and quickly and no one knows I'm wearing them. They help me focus on projects immediately vs wasting time "getting into it". I use them for studying, doing research, writing letters/reports etc., - i even use them at parties that are just too darn loud. I carry a pair in my purse; keep one at my desk; and have 2 back-ups at home just in case. I've also slept with them and do great - no waking up mid-stream. Great product - won't be without them.

Got these for my husband in nursing home with very inconsiderate roommate who never turned off his TV. The staff promised to help insert them, and would keep them on the med cart. Unfortunately, within 24 hours, one was missing, and the other was on the floor. They work, but too bad the staff didn't follow through. A little expensive to re-order!

These ear plugs work like no others. I thought I wasn`t sleeping well because I`m well into my 50`s. That`s what everyone told me was the reason. After using these ear plugs , I realized that wasn`t it. I sleep soooo well. Tried other ear plugs---useless. These are the best ever.

I have been using these for several months now, and am afraid to try to sleep without them, they are that good! I am a very light sleeper, but I have been sleeping so well since I started using these. I get total noise blockage and I can sleep on my side without any discomfort. I have and will recommend them.
