These earplug really work.
I'm a light sleeper. I've always worn those foam rubber earplugs to bed. The're comfortable, and they were adequate for most moderate background noise---(traffic, birds chirping, normal voices in another room). The need for "the best earplugs", which is how I Googled it, was because I rent a first floor apartment and a couple with a 1 year old baby and TWO dogs moved in on the 2nd floor over me. The ceiling/floors/walls are thin, and there is an old worn commercial type carpet upstairs with NO padding, laying directly on top of the plywood flooring. The noise was intolerableAt night with my old FOAM earplugs, I could hear the baby crying at night, the dogs barking, them getting up in the morning (before I had to get up), all of them pounding around overhead; During the day, I could hear all of the above, plus I could hear them talking, the baby yakking and crying, the dogs barking, I could hear the walking, the baby's walker which sounded like someone was dragging furniture around, the washer and dryer when they were using them, which was, by the way, EVERY DAY. I could go on and on. I tolerate the noise during the day when I am awake, but at night, I use my NEW earplugs and they block out ALL of the aforementioned noises. I had only purchased two pair so that I could "try them out". Two pair last a long time, with re-use. But when those 2 wear out, I will definitely order more. Thank you to the manufacturer and supplier of these earplugs. I forgot what they are called and who I purchased them from, but I'm sure that info is in my purchasing records. THANKS AGAIN.
