Mack’s Ear Seals Earplugs, 1 Pair with Detachable Cord - 26db High NRR - Dual Purpose Comfortable Ear Plugs for Noise Reduction and Blocking Water

I've worn these both in the pool and while shooting and they do a good job of keeping the noise out. Good for power tools as well (just keep the string way out of the way or cut it off).

I’m very sound-sensitive (a good thing because I do a lot of music analysis). During the pandemic I’ve been “stuck” in an environment that’s not ideal. There is much noise throughout the day that would normally interfere with my work and enjoyment of life. I wear these earplugs around my neck all day so I can insert them the moment an intrusive noise begins. I put them in to start any work project requiring deep concentration (except to analyze music or listen to a video or audiobook.)One has to learn how to insert them properly so that they are effective and comfortable. At the beginning I had a few scary and painful moments of creating suction in my ear canal. The printed instructions that come with them are helpful. I also found that if I also focus on aiming one plug in the direction of the opposite ear as I insert it, then it will enter at the right angle.These inexpensive little plastic plugs with the cord connecting them are of very good quality. The cord comes out easily but not accidentally. Every part has retained its shape for over a year. I occasionally throw them into the basin when I hand wash a garment. Even the little rectangular plastic case is of good quality and is still like new. I keep the earplugs in the case when I’m not using them so they don’t get lost or the cord tangled.A few years ago I bought industrial earmuffs to do the same job. I spent about $35 for them. They squeezed my head - so uncomfortable and cumbersome to travel with. These little things do at least as well and are so convenient at less than 1/10 the price.

These are the very best in the market!@

I use them because my husband is hard of hearing and makes alot of noise. He doesn’t hear himself. So he is very loud. It’s awesome that it drowns out his noise so I can continue sleeping while he’s getting ready for work, but I can still hear our alarm when it goes off. It’s the best of both worlds. I only use one ear plug because I sleep on my side. My other ear is against the pillow. It’s perfect.

Don't bother. These things are way too small. I damaged an eardrum already using other earplugs that were likewise way too small.This company won't stand behind their product, either.NO REFUNDS.

Fit my ears perfectly. Easy to use. This is my second pair. Won’t go back to foam ear plugs.

Totally surpass disposable foam earplugs in noise reduction. Don't get dirty like foam. Easy to clean. Make sure your ears are dry before putting them in for the night, or you could get irritation or an infection. The seal is too good.

Definitely useful when swimming. Pool swimming has unfortunately lead to me catching swimmers ear in the past. However these keep the water out and also come with a plastic case to carry them. I will say that the rope keeping them together isn’t really useful or necessary. So, I removed it.
