Only ear plugs I will every buy

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

My husband decided to take up snoring as a hobby so earplugs seemed a better solution to smothering him in his sleep. I've been through countless types of the orange faom ones, they just end up hurting my ears and/or falling out so I end up with what looks like a bed full of cheetos. So I decided to try Mack's. I will never go back. these things are amazing. They actually block out the noise of my husband's endless nocturnal pursuit of protecting me from bears by obstructed breathing. They don't hurt my ears and they don't fall out. Finally I can get a good night's sleep.

Way better than sticking an earplug in your ear

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

These go ON your ears, not in them. I fly internationally nearly every year, usually across the Pacific, and wind up wearing earplugs for up to 13 hours (apart from meals), because the sustained drone of jetliners' engines are not good for your hearing. But your ear canals don't like that. They feature a thin layer of skin over bone and damage easily. That's why doctors say you should never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. And I can say from long experience that conventional foam earplugs are irritating during long use like what I describe here. But these silicone earplugs go over your ear canal, using the qualities of silicone to adhere to the ear around the ear canal. That's the theory. And in this case it's also the practice. I lost mine before returning on my last trip and had to make do with the free earplug provided by the airline, and it reminded me of how great these silicone on-the-ear plugs are. If you try them I doubt you'll go back, and they're cheap enough to try. You can dispose of a pair after using it, but I've found you can re-use them quite a bit BTW.

Best earplugs out there! When used properly

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

Best earplugs I have ever used. They really do work although there is a slight learning curve on how to properly use.... you don't squish them and stick them in your ear like other ear plugs! Instead they need to cover the outer opening to your ear. Not too much squishing involved, they should stay nearly round when in use. Really blocks out even loud snoring sounds

The best! I'll never go back to foam earplugs

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Love these! I'm a super light sleeper so have to wear earplugs nightly. But after using foam ones regularly for over a year my ears were constantly irritated, sore and throbbing. I have small ears and even the foam plugs made for women and small ears just killed me. Finally, my ENT recommended these. I'll never go back to foam! I've been wearing these every night for seven months now with no pain. I like that they're really easy to wash too, since they're silicone. I do have small ears so I break one plug in half and use 1/2 per ear. This is just the right size for me but there are specific instructions included for use.

Flatten the earplug, then place it over the ear canal. Then press it into place at 12, 3 6, 9, like the face of a clock. I have used these for years and they work excellent. I read alot of the reviews and people are either inserting them into the ear canal or complaining there to soft. They have to be soft to adhere to the skin in your ear. These work excellent, exspecialy if you have noisy neighbors, like me.

I have an awful coworker that I can hear eating her carrots, chips, etc THROUGH A CLOSED DOOR while I’m WEARING OVER EAR HEADPHONES. I also have a family living above me that lets their children run from one end of the condo to the other until sometimes 11 at night. You could say I’m sensitive to noise. Well these are super comfy and I have no issues wearing them for long periods. Can’t hear anything when they’re in. Sometimes I sleep in them, and if I put my phone next to my head I can still hear my alarm in he morning since it is so close. Very sound deadening if you get a proper seal. Only con is my hair gets stuck in the silicone.

Effective, but leaves a waxy residue.

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

It blocks the sound effectively but it leaves a waxy residue in my ears so it feels like my ears are full of earwax. Also the process of putting them in can hurt. To prevent this, warm the earplugs a bit in your hands before pressing them into place. Directions are included with the packaging as these are not your standard kind of earplugs.

My bf snores. Loud. We have wood floors in the bedroom and the dogs. If the dogs walk around, you hear it. Wonderful in the middle of the night. I have tried every year plug imaginable. I can still hear stuff. I tried these on a whim and oh my God! You cannot hear anything. Nothing. I don't hear the fan, the dogs, or my boyfriend snoring. I do however hear my alarm because I set it super high. But even then it's low. It's a good thing I'm a light sleeper. I find them super easy to use. You just soften them up with your fingers- really pliable. I do what they tell you not to do but it works awesome for me.I basically put it in my ear and shove down with my thumb. That's it. It doesn't go into my ear canal and when it's time to be removed you just pull it right out. I don't find a problem with it but others in may. The only problem I have is I have very long hair and it tends to get caught in the wax. You can just pull it out and slide the waxy pieces off your hair. I remedy most of the problem by wearing my hair up. Oh, they are reusable, I've used the same pair for a while. When they get gross I throw them out. If you have smaller ears, you can use half of one and that works good too. But be careful -it is smaller in your ear canal. Other than that, I would recommend with more than five stars if I could. Amazing.

レビューのおかげです。

Reviewed in Japan on March 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

皆様が書いているように、半分にちぎって使うのがちょうどよいようです。
パッケージには「ちぎるな」と書いてありますが。

パッケージの「Water Proof(防水)」と書かれたところに「Snore Proof」と書いてあるのは
くすっと笑いました。（いびきから身を守るみたいな意味）

私はこれを近所の騒音対策として買いました。
深夜2時から3時ごろに狂ったように走り回る幼児（おそらくなんらかの障害をお持ち）が住んでいる家庭があり
その目を覚ますほどの爆音に悩まされていました。

風切り音で騒音を気にならなくするグッズを持っていたので試しましたが
幼児から発せられる爆音にはまったく意味がありませんでした。

困っていたところ、この商品にたどり着きました。
ほかの方のレビューに「足音が消えた」と書いてあったので
価格も安いので試しに買ってみました。

ふつうは騒音の中でも足音は低音で、音ではなく振動なので
被害者側では騒音対策がしづらいのですが
この商品は、ものの見事に爆音を消してくれました。

ほんとうにこの商品の効果なのか
それとも幼児の奇行がおさまっているのか
わからなくなるほど、爆音が消え去りました。

ありがたいことです。先にレビューをしていただいた方々
本当に助かっています。ありがとうございます。

この商品を使ってみて感じたことを書いておきます。
・近所の足音は消えます
・近所のシャワー音は消えます
・壁の向こうの話し声は消えます
・廊下を歩くハイヒールのコツコツという音は、消えません
・ドアをあける鍵の音は消えません
・家族の話し声は聞こえます。
・環境ノイズ（道路や周辺住宅のザーという音でもない音）は消えます
・５０ｍくらいのところで取り締まりをするパトカーのサイレンは半分以下になります。

特性はまだつかみ切れていませんが
低音が消えて、高音を通すようなそんな感覚です。

触感は昔ながらの白いでんぷんのりが空気に触れて
かたくべたつかなくなったくらいの感触です。

ほこりがつきやすいので、１００均の
ソフトコンタクトレンズケースにいれて保管しています。

追記
1週間ほどで、シリコンの水分が失われて耳から落ちやすくなりました。
新しいものに取り換えてもよかったのですが
ものは試しと、ウェットティッシュで拭いたところまた新品のようになりました。

表面のほこりをウェットティッシュで丁寧にふき取って
うすく伸ばすように揉んだら、ウェットティッシュの水分が
シリコンに吸収されて、新品の時のようにやわらかさが復活して
表面のゴミもきれいに取れました。

その状態で装着すると、耳にしっかり吸着して取れづらいようです。

「耳が痛くて使えない」というレビューの方は、単純に使い方を間違っていると思います。
パッケージに書いてある通り「耳の穴に入れてはいけません」。
耳の穴にまっすぐ押し込むようにしてしまうと、圧力で鼓膜のあたりがとても痛く感じます。

できるだけ耳の穴に押し込まないように、耳の穴にフタをする感じに広げてつけると
痛みはまったくありません。
それでも圧力が高まって、電車でトンネルを抜ける時のような感覚になるときがあるので
そのときは、すこしフタに隙間をつくって中の空気を抜くと良いです。

枕に耳つけると鼓膜が痛い→改善策あり

Reviewed in Japan on July 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

スポンジタイプでカブれるようになってしまい、これにたどり着きました。カブれません。
でも、横向いて寝られません。これで耳にフタをするわけですが、このフタにちょっと触れるだけで鼓膜に圧迫感を覚えます。買う前に同様のレビュー見て、指などでしっかり塞いでイメージつかんでたつもりですが、比じゃないです。密閉が予想以上。
寝返りでもうって勢いよく枕に耳付けたりすると、鼓膜がやぶれるんじゃないかというくらい。

p.s.
改善策見つけました。
元々、耳でもなんでもパーツが大きい西洋人向けの商品だからでしょうか、1/2に分割して使うといい感じになりました。
単純な話ですが、片方の耳に1ピース使うのではなく、1ピースを半分に分けて半ピースずつ使う(フタをする)ようにすると、耳からはみ出す量が少なくなるからでしょう、横向いて寝られないということがなくなりました。
自分の耳も小さいほうではないので、人によっては1/3くらいでもいいかもしれません。そうなると「6ペア」ではなく一気に「12ペア」「18ペア」の商品となり、コスパよくなります。
というわけで星2→3にアップ！

p.s.2
使用していて粘着が無くなるとすぐズレて防音性能無くなりますが、ハンドソープを使って指先で丁寧にこすり洗いすると、ツヤも粘着もある程度復活します。
また、説明書(英語)にはやるなと書いてるようですが、ほんの少し突起をつけて耳穴に入り込むように造形してやると、より耳に固定され防音性能が増します。昔ながらのモノラルイヤホンのような形。
この用法を見つけて、ようやくこの耳栓で十分と思えるようになりました。
星3→4！

p.s.3
思えばもう3年近くこちらを使い続けています。☆4→5！

旦那が死ぬほどいびきがうるさいです。地面が揺れます。本当に眠れなくてストレス溜まっていたので、耳栓を探していました。寝るのが大好きなので、眠りを妨げられるのはとっても嫌なので、この耳栓を買った所でどうなるのかな。と思いましたが、買って大正解です。笑
半分に切って耳に埋めてます。笑
きっちり音がシャットアウトされて、使い方に慣れれば圧迫感もなく、横になって寝ても耳が苦しくありません。正直耳栓はこの商品が初めてですが、これ以外は買わないかも知れません。
高い気はしますが、私はこの6ペアを買って8ヶ月程持ったので、それを考えると安いですよね。この金額でぐっすり眠れるなんて。
星5個付けましたが、強いて言うなら、
シャワー後眠過ぎてちゃんと拭かずそのまま耳栓して寝てしまう次の日は耳栓が臭くなります。笑
そして、耳栓しない時はアラームがなった瞬間起きてしまいますが、耳栓を使用してから、全く何も聞こえません。だから、毎朝旦那に起こしてもらってます。笑
旦那がいない日はどうやって起きれば良いのかなと悩んだことがありますが、よく考えてみたら、旦那がいない日は耳栓要らなかったので、その悩みは解決しました。笑

Not as cheap as half a house brick, but less messy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Jeez, does my better half snore. Seriously, I was in the Navy, and sharing a mess deck with 30 other guys has nothing on her. Mack truck going up hill in the wrong gear sums her up. I saw these, and after reading some of the other reviews though I'd give them a go. One reviewer claimed it stopped her urge to massage her husbands temples with half a house brick at night, and I can concur, the house bricks are all stowed outside again.

I've tried various other plugs, but being a side sleeper found them all too uncomfortable. The soft composition fills the outer ear (not the inner canal), reducing the most annoying noises, whilst being fairly innocuous.

I will certainly be buying more!

Been using earplugs for decades, and would highly recommend these

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am a very experienced earplug user....have had to wear earplugs for decades as I am a light sleeper, and any noise wakes me up. Many years ago I used to use the regular foam earplugs that you can buy in chemists, but when I started buying from Amazon years ago, I tried various different types of earplugs. When I started using the wax Bio Ears, I found that they reduced the noise levels even more, so I've been using those for several years now. There are a few niggly problems with those though...they are extremely expensive, and regularly would stick to my hair if I laid on my side. Trying to get the wax off my hair resulted in having to roll it down the hair shaft, resulting in many tiny, wee balls of wax. Occasionally, I would find a knot in my hair like that of old chewing gum, it was impossible to then get rid of the wax, and would result in me having to cut the knot out.

Last year, I decided to go back and try foam earplugs again. The reviews were mainly good, but I just couldn't get on with them. They would frequently fall out in the middle of the night, and took 5-6 minutes of physically holding them in my ears, whilst they expanded. If I didn't hold them there, then the expansion would just push them out, and I'd have to start all over again. I also found them incredibly uncomfortable, and actually painful, which was worrying. I went back to Bio Ears.

This time around, I decided to give these ones a try. They were almost half the cost of Bio Ears, (although they don't have the antimicrobial benefits). I was apprehensive, but I'm happy to say that I am a convert! They are really good! I am tempted to say that they might just block out more outside noise than the Bio Ears ones, but I guess that is subjective. They are very slightly bigger, so I think that might help. What I really love too, is that although they stick to my hair sometimes, it is much easier to get my hair off them. There are no sticky ballls of wax to contend with. My hair just pulls right out with seemingly no residue left on the hair, and so far I've had no chewing gum-like knots. They have about the same "life" as the Bio Ears, before they lose their stickiness.

NOTE: I only use earplugs for outside noise, and for the noise of my radiators coming on in the morning....not for snoring.

IMPORTANT: it is vitally important, with these wax type earplugs that you don't insert them into the ear....they just "cover over" the ear to make a seal.

UPDATE: after using up my first pack of 6 pairs of these, I am still very happy with them, and have just been researching the cheapest way to buy these as, with being in bed with a migraine for 2-4 days a week, I do use up a lot of earplugs! Have just ordered 36 pairs, at a cost of 66p a pair. This is very good for silicon earplugs, as they are all very expensive.

SAFETY WARNING FOR OTHER EARPLUGS RATED 27db:

I was having a look around the site a few days ago, and came across some blue earplugs, that apparently are washable, so one pack is supposed to last an entire year. I must say, I am very sceptical of that. They also block out 27dbs, which is much higher than other earplugs, including Macks. I would definitely warn against buying these, as I had a small fire in my living room last year (my tv caught fire in the early hours of the morning!). I was upstairs, asleep, with my Macks earplugs in, and gradually came to, hearing a distant noise. I had no idea what it was. I thought I'd set my mobile or alarm clock to go off at the wrong time, so I was fiddling about with them (whilst still wearing my earplugs), only to realise it wasn't them. It was still a distant noise, through the earplugs, buy was annoying me, so I took the earplugs out, and it then that I realised it was a really loud alarm going off in my house! I've never had a fire before, so didn't initially realise that it was my smoke alarms going off (one of which is outside my bedroom door, on the landing!). I was still confused at why my two smoke alarms were going off (smoke alarms are generally 85dbs), but then I noticed the smoke! I was really shocked, when I opened my partially open living room door, to find 1.5' flames coming out of my tv, and the room full of smoke!! Anyway, what I am trying to get at here, is that, if I had have had 27bd earplugs in, I might not be here today, as it is likely I wouldn't have heard the alarms at all!! A scary thought!

I am still using my Mack's 23db earplugs, and am still very happy with them.
