Best Ear Plugs Guide has been brought to live in early 2015 to help millions of people worldwide to choose the best earplugs for many different purposes. With hundreds of different products available, it's difficult to find the optimal set of earplugs that can address certain issues or situations.

Some people need earplugs to chillout and go into a 'silent mode' for a while. Some others deal with insomnia or other kind of sleep related problems. We help such person pick up the best earplugs for sleeping that are both effective in reducing the outside noise as well as comfortable when sleeping in different positions.Some other people we talk to face can't sleep because of the partner's snoring. Even though earplugs for snoring doesn't different that much from ear plugs for sleeping, they are differences. If you know them, it will be much easier for you to distinguish both types when you go shopping for earplugs. To give one example, earplugs for snoring often have a higher NRR - noise reduction ratio (usually 30 or higher).

There are lots of visitors on our site who keep asking us whether they should use traditional foam earplugs when they go for swimming. It's not easy to find a right pair of earplugs for swimmers but with our Guide, it's now much easier. If you browse through our extensive list of earplug-related posts, you'll notice that we have a seperate section covering earplugs for swimming. Such earplugs will not be made of foam which absorbes water and doesn't do the job protecting swimmer's ear. The earplugs that swimmers should look at, are those made from soft, modable silicone. Such silicone earplugs can be easily plugged into ear (they do not get inserted deeply into ear canal). The way the work is that they provide a tight seal so the water cannot get into the ear canal. Some types of silicone earplugs are also used in traditional, multi-purpose earplugs (incl. those for sleeping, snoring).

There are also wax earplugs, which are often extremaly comfortable for sleeping, as well as earplugs for kids, earplugs for musicians and those who like go out for live concerts (remember: it's important to wear ear plugs while listening to the live music, as one can lose the hearing quicker than you think...)

We hope we gave a little bit of background of why we decided to bring Best Ear Plugs Guide blog to life. Our team of editors is excited to be on "About.me"!
