Didn't work for me.
These plugs were inadequate for my needs. I need earplugs when I work out at the gym to mute the obnoxious, loud music. My cheap, pennies-a-piece plugs worked better than these expensive one. REPLY TO ANSWER BY COMPANY: Thanks for the reply, but I followed the directions exactly as you describe in the instructions and in your reply. They did NOT prevent the noise.

Dear Andrew: They will work PERFECTLY for you when you allow them to SEAL; yes SEAL your ear canals !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrew, please read the next 3 sentences to learn how to use our ear plug. 1. Just before insertion, take (( ONE )) ear plug at a time and (work or knead) it between your fingers or hands for at LEAST 15 seconds to make this Beeswax ear plug, (soft and mouldable). 2. Then push and flatten it, (a bit firmly), IN and AGAINST your ear opening, UNTIL YOU FEEL the ear plug (( SEAL )) (( SEAL )) yes (( SEAL )) your ear canal. If it doesn't SEAL immediately, then just keep your finger pressed against the ear plug for a few more seconds and it will SEAL PERFECTLY. 3. Now take the other ear plug, and prepare it and insert it (exactly) the same way as the first ear plug. You'll now have the HIGHEST BLOCKING EAR PLUG in the world blocking out that loud obnoxious music totally. Andrew, listen to only SILENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're with you ALL THE WAY until you get this working PERFECTLY, so please keep me posted.

If we can't answer, just leave your message and we'll call you back! Most sincerely Mary - BPI Customer Service To ad further to your experience: Andrew, if you've inserted the ear plugs to where they are SEALING your ear canals; and your still hearing too much sound, then try this: Pinch off about 1/2 of another ear plug in your pack and add or combine that ear plug material to ONE ear plug. In other words, insert 1 &1/2 ear plugs in each ear. Our military did that with our ear plugs when firing high calliber firearms, and they reported fabulous success with the blockage of sound. Andrew: i too wear this magnificent ear plug every night to block out my husband snores (like a freight train). They do the job for me perfectly. Possibly the frequency of the music is such that it targets your particular sensitivity of hearing Kind regards Mary
