Product Information

We’ll break down the top things shoppers look for when purchasing earplugs for sleeping. On the surface, earplug options may seem quite similar, but focusing more closely on the aspects that set them apart can help you hone in on a pair that suits your needs. This will give less attenuation than traditional foam plug but lets them design the filter shape to some extent," Davies says. This is how we get products that claim to reduce some sounds, but not all of them. However, Davies says "the exercise seems to be accompanied by variable amounts of pseudoscience and marketing guff." If you plan to wear earplugs while you sleep, comfort is critical. Several factors can contribute to how comfortable earplugs feel to you, including their materials, size, and shape. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to anticipate which earplugs will be most comfortable for you, so finding your ideal pair may be a matter of trial and error. Flare Audio's Calmer earplugs don’t look like regular earplugs. They’re small, made of soft silicone and have a big hole in the middle. There are specific instructions about how to fit these – they need to go into your ear canal at a certain angle – but they’re easy to follow, and this is a crucial step considering they work by ever-so-slightly changing the way your ear works. Some earplugs are intended for single use, while others are built for reusability. Disposable, single-use earplugs usually are composed of less durable materials to make them more affordable. They can be highly convenient, since you throw them away after use rather than cleaning them.

At SleepFoundation.org, we conduct extensive first-person experience tests on all but a select few products. This hands-on approach allows us to provide accurate, data-driven recommendations for mattresses, pillows, sheets, and other sleep essentials. They also, mostly, delivered on their promise of reducing some louder sounds whilst allowing me to hear others. This is vital if these are going to be worn for more extended periods and not prove to be prohibitive for socialising or staying safe.

Earplugs

We do not personally test CPAP equipment, anti-snoring mouthguards, supplements, and other medical devices that require a doctor's prescription. Rather than using specific rating criteria, we rely on our team's extensive knowledge of sleep products and medical industry standards to pair each reader with the right devices. These evaluations are also based on material and design quality, features, and other noteworthy product attributes.

While earplugs are an affordable and effective way to reduce nighttime noise, there are several other options, including headphones, sound apps, white noise machines, fans, and room modifications.What we need is more research about the complex relationship between sound exposure and health outcomes, which is what Danielle Benesch, a Master's student working alongside Jérémie Voix at the École de Technologie Supérieure in Montreal, is interested in finding out. However, Davies warns that the placebo effect might be at work in some cases, and believes all of these products need more sound attenuation tests to a recognised standard from a reputable lab. Traditional earplugs just fill the ear canal with foam to try to attenuate as much sound as possible," Davies says. "This is still the best and cheapest way to give the most attenuation with an earplug, but it works much better the higher the frequency."
