Musician Ear Plugs Australia

Beeswax

It is designed to be used outside the ear canal as well but Beeswax Ear Plugs are softer and easier to mold between your fingers into a ball. Once the ball is placed over the ear canal it is then flattened until it forms a seal over the ear canal. It is very important not to push on the Ear Plug to hard as the Ear Plug can be lodged within the ear canal.

These Ear Plugs are very comfortable when sleeping, blocked out the most amount of noise and stayed in the ears whilst sleeping.

Foam

It is designed to be used inside the ear canal. They are generally specified according to the amount of dB it can reduce. Users are supposed to ‘roll’ them first before putting it in. It can take a long time to perfect the skill of ‘rolling’. Basically, this involves twisting the ear plug until it gets thinner and more elongated. Then put it straight into the ear canal. The foam expands inside the ear canal and stops the sound from going through.

If you do not complete this procedure properly, the ear plugs will fall out in your sleep as you move around. Some people, especially ladies, have small ear canals. Thus, it could be difficult for them to put the ear plugs in.

Silicone

It is designed to be used outside the ear canal. Users should roll it to a small ball (like plasticine), place it OUTSIDE their ear canal and then press to flatten it. (like sealing the entrance to stop sound from getting into the ear).

However, when reviewers have pressed too hard when placing over your ear canal, the hard silicone material may irritate your ear. So beware!

Some reviewers also found that it got stuck in their hair and fell out in the middle of the sleep. It is not a good material to use.

Silicone Ear Plugs blocked out a good amount of noise but it was noted that they are quite uncomfortable to use as they are hard and often fell out of the ear whilst sleeping.
