I'm married to a snorer. It hasn't always been this way. It has progressed with age I suppose. I try to fall asleep in our own bed but most nights, I end up in the guest bed which quite frankly, is a dynamite nights sleep. I have tried ALL the other brands of ear plugs from foam, to the putty, to the black ones with the little ring. I even gave my pair of shop headphones a whirl and they didn't work at all! We had a vacation planned where our hotel stay was in one room. Thankfully, there were two, Queen beds. I took my black ear plugs with the little ring. They worked really well however, after three nights of wearing them, my inner ear was in pain. That little black ring is not comfortable for a side sleeper like me. I came home and ordered these ear plugs. I'm not a fan of wearing them nightly, but I wanted to give them a try to see how comfortable they were. After all ... there will be other travel nights in hotel rooms and I wanted to find something comfortable to wear. These fit the bill ... seriously! They do not cancel out 100% of the noise, but they do muffle it enough that I can sleep much more comfortably. Having another bed all to myself helps a lot too. They are easy to insert and take out and they are comfortable ... well as comfortable as an ear plug can be. If you're married to a snorer too ... there is help. These ear plugs are comfortable and effective. You deserve a good nights sleep. Give these a whirl. Read more

Don't try these even once! I'd read through the reviews carefully and decided to try these even though there were a handful of reviews where people said they had to go the ENT or emergency room because these got stuck in their ears. Well, I should have listened to them! I nearly became one of them! To be safe, I decided to try inserting and removing the plugs at least once before using them overnight. All I did was insert one of the plugs into my right ear, making sure the tab on the outside was still easily accessible. Well, THE PAIN FROM TRYING TO PULL IT OUT WAS EXCRUCIATING. It was stuck, even though I hadn't even pushed it in that far. Simply pulling the tab on the outside didn't work, I had to push on the back of my ear to try to break the seal. The plug kept wanting to go further into my ear instead of coming out of it. Still, I kept pushing on my ear and pulling on the plug, and despite excruciating pain, was eventually able to get it out. Half an hour later, my ear is still sore and I'm worried I may have damaged my eardrum. So yeah, don't try these! You've got a good chance of ending up in the ER! It's not worth the risk! Read more
I wear these every night, I started wearing ear plugs to sleep a few years ago and tried many options. I settled on these because they are the best. They really do dampen sound, so I don’t hear the cat scratching at the door, dogs barking in the night, and my husband’s snoring is dampened to a soft noise. They are well made and I’ve never received a pair that is poor quality. I am glad they come in different sizes because The larger ones hurt my ears. They usually stay in place, I have had them fall out every now and then (over the years) but if you put them in correctly and completely they stay in place. I am frustrated by the fact that one pair is $16, two pair (different sizes) are $18 - so it’s a great value! Except, I just need one size. To get one size, I have to pay $32 for two pair. Why not just make a twin pack by size if you are willing to sell two-packs at a reduced price? Read more
Warning - Possible Choking Hazard. This came out of my ear and I woke up with it in my mouth. I was woken up because I started to choke. Terrifying. These work great and are comfortable, but safety wise, I likely will not use these anymore. I have small ear canals. Using ear buds and ear plugs bother me, and consistently fall out because they can’t roll or squeeze small enough to fit in my ear. Now, these bad boys?! I’m buying another pair, they’re that good! The material makes it smooth and glides right into your ear and as far or as little as you want and it holds form. It blocks out just enough noise, to be able to actually sleep. My husband always jokes that I can hear a bird fart in the middle of the night. I wake easily and am disturbed by the slightest noise. These ear plugs are by far the best I have ever used! Read more
My favorite earplugs. They don't block out all the sound, and you can definitely feel then when sleeping on your side. However, they are the best ones I've tried so far. I love that they are washable and very durable. Read more
I’ve tried several different earplugs for sleeping but none of them compare to these Alpine SleepDeep earplugs. I’ve been sleeping with these for several weeks and love these. They are very soft so it does not feel like there’s something pushing hard against my ear when I’m sleeping with my head against the pillow. They fit inside my ear just right. Pay attention to how to insert them. Since they are softer than other brands, I needed to push them in at a certain angle and with a little more pressure to ensure a good seal. The design of these also doesn’t put a lot of pressure inside my ear. I’ve had the Loop earplugs for a year and those put more pressure inside the ear which was not as comfortable as these. Comes in a small hard case to carry around so you don’t lose them. The noise reduction is comparable to the Loop ones if not better. These are reusable but since these are a softer material, I do expect these to potentially not last as long but I will have to see how these hold up in the long term. I felt like these were a fair price for the quality and usefulness of the item. Read more
