Which Foam Ear Plugs are right for me?

Choosing The Right Foam Ear Plug

With so many foam ear plugs available, the best choice comes down to comfort, fit, and noise reduction level. For sleeping, look for soft, slow-rebound foam with a tapered shape — these are easier to wear overnight and great for side sleepers. For industrial or loud environments, go for high SLC80-rated plugs that block out more sound.
You’ll also want to consider size and pressure. People with smaller ear canals often prefer slim or low-pressure plugs, while others may need a firmer plug that stays in place during movement or activity. Many people try a few pairs before finding their perfect match — that’s why we offer bulk packs and multi-style samplers to help you get the best fit - just send us an email to arrange one for you.
