Hearos Ultimate Softness

I have used another pair of earplugs that were made of similar material and was skeptical that these were any better, specifically for low frequencies (obnoxious bass from neighbor). They work wonderfully… for this purpose and are very comfortable when wearing at night. I use them most nights and can only hear my heartbeat and our air purifier (barely). I heard a thumping noise after putting them in my ear, felt my pulse and sure enough it was my own heart! They work great.

These are unbelievable. They are very different from regular foam ear plugs, the yello ones commonly used. When your roll the Hearos into a small roll between your fingers, they do NOT expand to the… original size immediately, but it takes a while for them to expand (kind of like memory foam beds), so you can really push them deep into your ears before they begin to expand. That way, you get a great fit deep into your ear before they expand to the original size. As such, they block out sounds fantastically. I barely hear my window AC in the bedroom anymore, it just sound like a very faint fan. The downside is that I barely hear the alarm clock in the morning, but at least everything turns quiet with these in my ear. I have tried regular ear plugs, the yellow ones, but the Hearos are far better. There is a huge difference between foam ear plugs and foam ear plugs apparently, something I had a hard time believing prior to purchasing the Hearos.

I am currently deployed to Iraq, and I live on a joint Army / Air Force base. About 500 feet from where my quarters are, F-16s take off on a regular basis, and Black Hawks do regular passes over our living… area. I am a light sleeper so this made for some restless nights. I decided to shop around for some good quality earplugs in an effort to get some better sleep. Since I have started using Hearos, my sleep is without a doubt much more sound. They are comfortable, inexpensive, and last about 12-15 days a pair if you make an effort to keep them somewhat clean. Solid product all around.
