Highlights of our Sleeping Earplugs
The Ear Plugs for Sleeping from Earmold Sydney is probably the most popular earplug on the market today. It has been available to the consumer for more than 30 years, and was the first foam earplugs to ever be manufactured.
Almost everyone who reviews sleeping earplugs knows about Classic Ear Plugs for Sleeping. They have a signature yellowish cylindrical shape and specialed texture surface.
most popular Ear Plugs for Sleeping in the world today because of their outstanding advantage that include:
The Size: They have been tested to be the right size to fit the widest range of ear canals (Mil P37407)
The Shape: The cylindrical-shape has shown to protect better than tapered plugs (British Steel Technical, 1994)
The Review
The material used with the Ear Plugs for Sleeping is definitely different from other plugs I have used in the past.
At first touch, the main body of the Ear Plugs for Sleeping is kind of rough but the two endfaces are very soft. This roughness is due to the plug special proprietary cell surface texture. The soft endfaces helps make the seal.
The Ear Plugs for Sleeping is more stiff to compress than other types of foam earplugs and it has a slower recovery time which makes them actually easier to insert inside the ear because the plug takes more time to regain its original size.
One of the downside to this PVC formulation is that since the recovery time is longer than other plugs, you have to keep your finger on the Ear Plugs for Sleeping while it regain its size in the ear. If you don't keep a finger on it, it has a tendency to get out of the ear, not providing with an optimal noise reduction fitting. This effect is probably due to it’s cylindrical shape. Sometimes, It even needs to have it taken out, re-rolled, and re-inserted in the ear canal again.
The special PVC and cell surface texture do actually help keep the pressure inside the ear very low when inserted. This is due to the fact that the cell surface let air thru the Ear Plugs for Sleeping as is expand in the ear, creating a pressure balance, compared with push-in type of reusable and disposable earplugs that prevent air inside the ear from coming out, though, creating an air pressure inside the ear when inserted.
I could not test the Ear Plugs for Sleeping for the humidity factor because I don't use them in sweaty conditions. Although I have noticed that the plug tend to be easier to remove from my ear when I pull on it. I guess that because of the special cell surface, the plug does not tend to become humid and stick to the inner canal like other disposable foam Ear Plugs for Sleeping.
The Shape
Although it does actually make a prefect fit when properly inserted, and that there are studies backing their claim, I don't particularly believe that tapered provide Ear Plugs for Sleepingless fit and protection than the cylinder type.
On the contrary, I find the cylinder type Ear Plugs for Sleeping more difficult to insert in the ear that the tapered ones for one reason: when it is rolled, the flat end face of the Ear Plugs for Sleeping tend to get deformed and turn into a ball that is sometime hard to insert in the ear canal, compared with a Taper type where the tip stays tapered even when compressed.
So, it makes them difficult to insert correctly on the first roll, compared to the tapered plugs which provide a perfect entry on the first try due to it’s form.
But when Ear Plugs for Sleeping inserted properly, it does fit nicely in the ear canal and provide an excellent noise seal. If you want to use this type of plugs and have trouble putting them in or figuring out if they are properly positioned in the ear, the Classic Superfit model provide you with a visual indicator on the plug to confirm a proper fit.'

The Usability
Although I don’t use earplugs in a high noise environment, they have been very helpful for me against my partner snoring and my noisy neighbors high volume music.
They are very comfortable to wear all day long. I do use them at night because, compared with the regular tapered earplug type, they don’t create moisture in the ear which makes them very comfortable to wear all night.
All manufacturers of earplugs advise that these should be used only once. I tend to agree if you are wearing them for high noise protection. But if you use them like me, then they can be reused a few times before throwing them out.
I have found that they can be used from 1 to 2 days before they lose their property of slow recovery. Which makes them harder to insert after a while because they recover too fast to insert them properly in the ear canal.
The Pros:
Cylinder Shape Ear Plugs for Sleeping provides a perfect fit when properly inserted
Slow recovery give more time to insert properly the Ear Plugs for Sleeping
Cell textured surface makes the plug very soft and comfortable in the ear canal
Cell surface protect against pressure and humidity inside the ear
The Cons:
When Ear Plugs for Sleeping compressed, end face tend to get into a ball and make inserting more difficult
Need to hold while it recover in the canal because it tends to get out when recovering
If not inserted properly in the ear, the cell textured body makes them easy to lose at night when sleeping with them
Disposable Ear Plugs for Sleeping. Not environmentally friendly. Although manufacturer state it can be recycled, there are no recycling code printed on them
The Conclusion
The Ear Plugs for Sleeping are easy to insert, provide a perfect seal when properly inserted, are very soft and comfortable when worn a long time.
