Peace&QuietPeace&Quiet PQ Small Ear Plugs for Sleeping - 40 Earplugs for Sleep, Snoring, Small Ear Canals, Noise Cancelling 32 dB, Sound Blocking, for Women and Men

These are the best ever! And I have tried a dozen brands. THese are so good, so comfortable and my ears don't sweat or hurt in the morning and my husband snores light a freight train.

I am changing my review from an initial 2-star "Disappointed" review to a glowing 5-stars after my latest attempt at using these things.I had initially written how my ear canal is really very narrow, and that the disadvantage of these smaller plugs was that they would get squished in the process of inserting them, no matter how or which way I pulled my ears to try and straighten the canal.Last night, I decided to give it another go, since I have a tin full of the things anyway, and somehow the planets and the ear canal finally aligned perfectly, and the plug went right in all the way.Once the plug expanded to its full size, this time around the difference was monumental!My ear was completely sealed, and I could hear *nothing*!I still had to struggle to insert the plug in the other ear, but I finally managed, and then it was bliss!I have not experienced such a deep silence since I descended to the depths an a lava tuve years ago, and I did not hear a thing from the moment I finally got the plugs in right, until I took them out in the morning.For the first time in many months I was able to get a solid, full-night sleep without getting woken up by my wife's fierce snoring, and I woke up feeling fully rested and happy.So, to all of you writing that the plugs don't work, and don't suppress sound, I respectfully suggest that you're not inserting them properly, which is exactly what happened to me.Once they're in the right way, straight in and all the way inside, I assure you that the noise reduction is dramatic and astonishing. Granted, it is not necessarily easy, and for some people it may be more of a struggle than for other, but once the plugs are in the right way, they do work, and work VERY well! So please keep trying; you'll be happy you did.One last word of caution. When you get the proper alignment of the ear canal, it is possible for the plug to go in too deep. This could result in some pain deep inside. Make sure the plug goes in fully, so that when it expands no part of it protrudes from the earhole, but no deeper than that. And if it feels painful at the bottom, just gently pull it out a bit, until you feel the seal, but no pain.Good luck!

These earplugs are fairly effective at blocking noise. This new order is not soft like all my previous orders and that is a problem because my ears are very sensitive.They no longer come in the rigid round box which I think kept the earplugs from drying out and getting hard. I don't like the new box at all.The possible reasons the new plugs are too firm might be that they sat on the shelf too long, the new box doesn't keep air out, or they changed the formula for profit. I am not sure if I will order this brand again. They used to be the best!

These little earplugs are better at anything I've ever tried both in terms of blocking noise (even snoring) and sleeping comfort. The key is to get these little things deep in the ear canal. It's a little scary at first use, because other earplugs stick out from the canal. It is this situation that leads to discomfort, inconsistent noise blocking, and falling out during sleep. Because these earplugs are smaller, they fully fill the ear canal.I found it was best to insert the earplugs while laying down and tugging the outer ear slightly backwards. This seems to straighten the canal a bit. Then roll the earplug between your thus and index finger and quickly place in the ear canal. You'll know when it is set properly. As the foam expands, the sound will disappear nearly completely. If it doesn't feel fully blocked then try again. When the earplugs are in the right position, only a tiny bit will stick out of the canal, just enough to grab a bit for removal.Some reviews say they are too small. I have average size ears, and these truly worked great... the best! One word of caution... they work so well, they unfortunately block your alarm clock too!

After trying several other earplugs i gave these a try for my small ear canals. The fit was good, i could still hear my husbands rumbling snore but it was muffled. The issue is my ears have been itching for 3 days now since using them. I woke up to my ears itching deep inside first use. Not using them again! I've never experienced this with earplugs

I’ve bough these every 6 ish months for the last 4 years. I have smaller ish ears but use earplugs every night and found that my ears always ended up hurting in the morning or even halfway through the night.These are small enough to not hurt and actually be comfortable without sacrificing the noise muffling.

I’m sad to report this - but the quality has taken a nose dive. These used to be the BEST for small ear canals.I’ve ordered these 5x over the years - previously they came in a stylish round container with a lid and were blissfully soft, causing no discomfort. My ears are sensitive and small, these were the only plugs I’ve found that have been comfortable overnight without causing soreness, a true gem.My two recent orders? The packaging is now a much cheaper disposable box- and the quality of its contents has followed suit. The size and appearance of the plugs look the same, but they feel much stiffer and instantly feel uncomfortable in my ears. I’m not sure If they have added a different coating or the material has changed but I can no longer insert them fully into my canals without causing instant itch and discomfort, so have to slip them further out with affects the noise cancellation.I’m really disappointed. I’m a repeat customer - but not sure if I will continue to be. These have gone from a sold 5*, to a 3*. They are still the smallest in size I’ve found - but it’s apparent the company has cut some corners to profit and they are not what they used to be.

I wear these nightly. Although they don't cancel 100% of the noise, there is a significant reduction. They are the best earplugs for small ears.
