Didn't work for me. I guess my ear is too big, I don't know. The larger size of the two I got just sat there, did not fill the canal or something — didn't stop any sound...

The small and average sizes were both too big for me. It would appear that others have this problem as well. Maybe make an extra-small size?? I am trying to use the small size, but they are not comfortable and do not keep out the sound. Unhappy customer.

Better than anything else I've tried but made my ear a little sore. Still worth it to get a good night's sleep.

I am impressed. I get a lot of road noise when riding my motorcycle...these plugs have significantly reduced noise.

I suspect these provide lasting comfort, but I couldn't confirm, as even the medium size didn't provide a good seal.

I was really hopeful that these would work to block out snoring noise, but they didn't work as well as the less expensive foam ones you can buy at the drug store.

I purchased the 2 pack with the small and Average size and neither keep the seal in my ear. I have worn single flange in the past and may revert to those. Thanks.

Did not serve my purposes. Was not effective in reducing ambient noises in workspace.

Have to be careful not to pull out of ear when placing motorcycle helmet on. Medium is just a touch too small for right ear. Blocks wind noise better than the softies I have been using.

The earplugs are very comfy and work well for sandblasting. I can blast and shape carve for hours on end with them with no irritation.

I have a small ear canal, and could not insert the smaller pair of earplugs. Perhaps they would work fine for other customers - they just did not work for me. The Earplug Store was very gracious about accepting them back, as they are quite different from other earplugs and may work better for some folks than others.

Did not block out sounds very well, certainly less well than foam which wasn't terrific either.

I really like them and recommend the two pair trial pack because the one that I thought would work the best for me was not the one that I selected to use. My only complain is the pull tabs on the ear plugs are to short for my ears and they are very difficult to remove. I like this style very much and will be looking for another vendor that has this style and size of ear plugs, but with longer pull tabs.

These plugs are durable and good quality ....but you must get the correct size or they will not fit properly !!!!! I bought the combo pack ...and the small size was best for me !!! I would recommend , for sure !!! I use these for shooting sports , work GREAT !!!

These are very easy to insert and do reduce the noise quite a bit. However, if you lay your head on the side, the part where the orange connects to the clear part is not very flexible and when you lay your head down it starts to get sore there because it seems like a hard part pushing on your ear. So unless you sleep on your back only, these are not good for sleeping as I had hoped.

These ear plugs did less to block sound for me than even my insufficient wax ones. They also would not work well for a side sleeper because of the protruding knob in the middle of the plug. I returned mine and bought a white noise sound device instead.

I wish there was a way to harness their effectiveness and make them a bit softer so they don't hurt to wear. Have tried different sizes and bc I'm a side sleeper I always end up waking with an incredible ache in my ear.

The medium-sized earplugs are fantastic... but only for my left ear. Apparently my right ear canal is slightly bigger so even the medium size (i.e. the biggest available) doesn't seal outside noise as well as it does on my left ear. That being said, the earplugs are very comfortable, even when sleeping sideways. I guess for now I'll pack my disposable foam earplugs to wear on my right ear when travelling. Please let me know when a large size becomes available again!

Work Decent, however you can't sleep on your side when wearing them. They keep out a lot of noise and have helped out with reducing noise when sleeping.

These ear plugs differently work better than the ones sold in the various stores. They stay in your ears much better and silence the noise just as well

These ear plugs certainly work , but they don't work any better than any of the others,IMO. They just cost a lot more. No better performance, no worse....

The average fits well but gets a little irritating when you're trying to sleep side ways. Compared to a regular NRR 32 disposable ear plug, this product's suppression has the equal effect. Have not tried the small, it's quite small. All in all good product and worth the purchase.

I purchased these in hopes to silent my husbands snoring but I could still hear him as if I didnt have ear plugs in:( For the price I thought they would do alot more. The ear plugs I bought for a dollar a pair work far better..

i read about them and now ive tried them they work great cuts down the wind and you can still hear your stero an pipes and also talk to someone when stopped i like them there great thank terry

I just moved to an apartment and wanted something to muffle the person above me. Footsteps, washing machine noises, etc would still wake me in the middle of the night. Perhaps if I combined these with a white noise machine they might work. Plus they're not as comfortable as I expected. I'm a side sleeper and found them to be annoying at times.

Sadly I didn't get the chance to use them...once I opened them they accidentaly got thrown in the trash can next to my desk and taken outside to the big trash cans.. I did try them on when I frist opened them and the medium seemed to be a good fit..but I'll never know LOL!

The medium fits well and greatly reduces the noise from the National Guard jets at the airport. I must believe from reading other reviews that perhaps some people did not read the directions on how to properly insert them in your ears. They fit deep in the ear canal and are very comfortable. My tinitus from the jet noise is already improving.

Loved them. I use these for motorcycle track days. Way better than any foam thing that I have used before.

These earplugs do not muffle sound. I tried the sample pack and neither size worked. I liked the end for ease of pulling out the earplug, but for noise level, it just doesn't fit as well.

Neither was comfortable. I prefer standard foam plugs

Easy to put in and take out, but for me, pretty ineffective at blocking sound. In hindsight I would not have wasted my money

These are great ear plugs. Since they are available in 3 sizes, I was able to get a good fit. They are re-usable and easy to clean. Probably the quietest I have ever used. A 60 mph wind noise was reduced to a mild murmur. They also do not protrude so they can be worn with a motorcycle helmet. [EPSS Customer Service: The Silent Ear earplugs are no longer available in size large as that size was discontinued by the manufacturer. The average and small sizes are still being manufactured].

Unfortunately, both sets were too small. They did not seal the ear properly (they sat loose, or I had to push them inside too far). They are useless to me. Unexpected, since I never use the larger set of plugs for earbuds. It is possible that the larger size plugs would have been ok, but they were not included in the trial pack to try. [EPSS Customer Service: Catherine, your experience is typical for customers who try the Silent Ear, they love them or they just don't work because they can't get a good seal. Please contact us and we will be happy to help you with a return. The manufaccturer has discontinued the large size in this plug, but we are lobbying to have them bring it back.]

The next thing to useless, foam plugs were100% more effective Feel like I wasted my money on the trial pack.

I would recommend the silent ear trial pack to anybody looking for good plugs. They are really comfortable. My ears must be different sizes because I had to use one small and one average to get the most comfort.

After about five years of these earplugs saving me from inconsiderate roommates, people who fail to understand that nighttime is for sleeping, and overzealous concert crews dialing up the volume, one of the flanges has had enough of my pulling and separated from the body of the earplug. On the bright side I now know what's inside these miracle workers—some sort of clear, squishy substance—on the not-so-bright side, I find myself needing another pair. Still, five years is nothing to sneeze at, so I have gladly repurchased these. And thanks to the great trial pair deal, I didn't need to remember what size worked out for me.

I ordered the trial pack of Silent Ear plugs to determine what size I'd need for competitive shotgun shooting. I don't know why or how this works, but the mediums kind-of fit while just walking around the house, but once I was in a louder shooting type environment they didn't fit or work well (maybe I didn't notice that they didn't fit that well until in a louder environment). I didn't feel like I was able to get the plugs deep enough into my ear for them to be effective and I followed the instructions by using the opposite side hand to pull on the top of the ear from over the head. I think that the plugs would probably work better for me if there was a larger size and maybe a little nub in the center of the three plastic "fingers" to make inserting them deeper easier.

I had ordered the trial pack, with one small and one average sized pair for earplugs. But unfortunately even the small wasn't small enough for me. I got one to sort of fit in my left ear but the pressure of shoving a non-breathable earplug into my ear was not only uncomfortable, but also caused me to feel dizzy with the change in pressure in my inner ear. Not a goo feeling.

work well, very quiet. easy in, easy out, comfortable. normal for me, smalls for wife. smalls comfy to sleep with

I have a ruptured eardrum and always wear a full HOT Helmet. Not anymore, these are wonderful! Recommend them to everyone who hates wind noise!

Both sizes fit, one obviously a little tighter then the other, however I was very impressed with the way it stopped the wind shear. I wear a half helmet and they worked well with that style helmet. Surprisingly, I could still hear when I talked to other riders without having to pull them out. Highly recommend if you are looking for a plug to stop the irritaing wind from wistling in your ears.

I used them for this weekend, I was able to go to Leesburg Bikefest and had a blast. I was not able to tolerate the noise of the bikes in the past, I was able to stand next to the bikes, no problem and could hear everything that people were saying, the bands, it just knocked out the loudness. I love them, thank you!!!! I would recommend them to anyone who has issues with loud noises!!

I could'nt use what I ordered but thier customer service was very helpful with the return.

I have tried both sizes and found to block the most noise I need the larger size. I am a side sleeper at times and find that they do stay in my ears. I can finally get a good nights sleep while my other half snores away.

Tried both sizes, small seem to fit good, but I don't believe they are NRR 32. They don't block enough sound for shooting, not nearly as good as disposable plugs. Too bad I was looking for a reusable plug, but these aren't them.

The smaller size worked best for me but my husband can use the larger ones. They really do dampen the noise. Love them.

The regular size was the better fit for me and made a pretty good seal. The plugs blocked most of the noise that was bothering me- leave blowers, lawn mowers, power washer. My wife used the small pair, so I was able to make use of both pairs. Good Product.

I could not get either size to fit for my ears correctly. I have a home embroidery business and work with very loud machines and was hoping these would help minimize the noise in my work studio. Disappointing.

Service was great - but unfortunately neither size fit snuggly into my ears - so I can't use them.

I purchased the earplugs hoping they would block out snoring and other sounds. They are easy to use but did not seal well. I may need size large which is not available.
