  • Thanks, I use the slim fit, also have the same discount, great on the motorbike.

    • might as well try those too!

      You should have to suffer the same noise pollution we do when you ride around…Also, how does this go for awareness of cars, pedestrians and other hazards?

      • Wind rush (particularly if you ride with the visor up) will send you deaf anyway, earplugs are probably no worse than a car with all the windows wound up.

        Loud pipes do serve a purpose, they aren't put on to piss people off they are put on to get the attention of other drivers - unfortunately even a minor accident caused by driver inattention can kill us.

          But you won't hear me abuse you at the lights when you cut lanes in fast moving traffic and almost kill yourself and others.

            @Balljuice: I don't ride like an idiot so it's unlikely you abuse me, I do swear a lot under my helmet though when car drivers blatantly pull out in front of me.

    Snoring spouse should be using CPAP machine. It's good for them and their spouse.

  • If you want something a little less disposable, can thoroughly recommend these - I use them for a variety of use-cases including swimming

    they are essentially 2/3rds the price of these and for all intents and purposes does the same thing

      I've tried those for sleeping and they're super uncomfortably (IMO). Though I'm a partial side sleeper, which is when they are bad.
      I find foam ones are best for sleeping.

      • You should try the Alpine SleepDeep ear plugs if you haven't already done so, they're amazing for side sleepers like me. It's all I use now.

        • +1

          They look good, I'd like to try them. Am interested in a long-term reusable, high quality pair with a carry case.

          Though they have an SNR 27.

          I buy foam varieties with SNR 33, and certain brands seem to be better designed, both for an air-tight fit and durability. I currently get a 50pck from an unlikely retailer (stock is short in Aus) and probably won't run out for a decade now. Just the other week the GF came down with the flu and spent one night here having coughing fits that she had to leave the bedroom for, didn't hear a thing. They are gold, and I thought the Mack snore-blockers were as good as it gets for foam varieties.

            @muwu: That's a good point about the better SNR reduction of foam ear plugs — the Alpine ones do let a bit of sound through, and they don't filter high-frequency sounds at all (like clock alarms/smoke alarms/car alarms etc), likely for safety reasons. I have to pair mine with a Lectrofan white noise machine in order to sleep properly (because I live in an old building where we can hear every little sound the neighbours make).

          • @muwu: What brand are these ones that you highly rate as gold? I use the foam Mack ones and they're great. I get that it isn't the best hygienically, but I use a pair until they stop blocking noise, which is usually a week or so each pair.

            • @mantis0147: Yeah same, I'm reusing mine a lot. Apart from a bit of a physical clean, I recommend using ear drops sometimes, doesn't have to be often. Habitual users of ear plugs can gradually develop dry ear wax plaques that block the middle ear, reduced your hearing slowly over time (particularly low frequency sounds). The drops can dissolve them, but if they're particular stubborn you'll end up needing ear irrigation to wash out (done at GP clinic).

              • @muwu: Ah that's interesting. I do get dry ears where the ear plugs basically seal up against that I try to moisturise as I come out of the shower - good to get confirmation of the definite cause from somebody else.

      I used to work offshore and got hooked on the Honeywell Howard Leight MAX - there's a reason why we wear them for chopper flights
      I wear a set of the uncorded every night

      • They look a great design. SNR 26 looks a but low though.

  • 👍

  • Have used these for a few years for sleeping and after the initial getting used to, find them quite comfortable.

  • I have tried many different kinds over the last 20yrs and I think that these are the most comfortable ones out there. Most of the other kinds have a plastic feel to the outside of the plug and can get sort of stuck when trying to remove. The 3m's are that good, I now personally buy these as the employer I'm at now buys cheap generic ones.

    • I just tried these 3Ms and was surprisingly disappointed, to me they are a bit on the smaller side and less firm, results in them not being inserted as far as I expect with others and losing the degree of air-tightness during the night. I only bought an 8pck so am saving them for night duty/on-call when I don't mind being more easily woken, and moved on to a brand that does the excellent bell-shape design.

      • I don't know, I wear them for 12hr shifts in a manufacturing environment and I've never had any trouble with "air tightness". Maybe you're just not shoving them down far enough :)

        • i've nearly lost them in a couple of times hehe

  • Also found these on Amazon that will ship in a day or two:

    • 38dB rating is high, I'm sceptical looking at them, post a review after you try if you want..

    Dunno about you guys but I'm paranoid about sleeping with earplugs just incase some teenagers decide to break in…

    • +1

      thats why you buy a dog

  • +1

    I bought a pack of these years ago. Very happy I did. Earplugs are one of those things you would rather have and not need than need and not have. I only use them occasionally but when I have needed them they have been a godsend.

  • +1

    Dog still licking my feet though… what can I buy to remedy that?

    • a knife - cut them off.

    • peanut butter on a different area till he learns

      • Fun for both of us?

  • This is crazy….I have a box of these and was trying to find them last night but they seem lost. I came on here to see if there were some cheaper ones and voila. thx
