Travelers guide to Using Foam Earplugs

By Ned Howland


Foam earplugs are definitely the most cost effective and most simple type of earplugs. They are usually used as earplugs for sleeping and are amongst the best earplugs for everyday and infrequent use. They are often given away by airlines because they're low-cost and suit nearly all individuals. However, not everybody uses them correctly.

1) Inserting

A lot of people just stick foam earplugs inside their ears. However, they are not obtaining the best protection. Rather, the earplug should be condensed by means of rolling into a cylinder. Next you need to pull the top part of your ear upwards and away from your head and slide the plug inside, afterward hold it there until it expands little by little. Forcing them into the ear does not work.

2) Removing

Earplugs should never just be pulled out. In the event you hear a 'pop' after you remove them, then you are doing it wrong and risking ear drum injury. Instead, the plug should be gently twisted to work it free and withdrawn slowly.

3) Cleaning

The speediest method to clean earplugs is to fill a small cup with hydrogen peroxide bleach and soak them for a couple of minutes, then rinse. If they are too dirty for that, mild soap or dish detergent is advisable. Combine it with water in a bowl, then put the earplugs in and gently scrub the dirt off with a cloth or your hands and fingers. Then rinse and dry by setting on a clean towel, covering it by using a second towel, and pressing downward. Make sure they are thoroughly air dry before using them again.

Foam earplugs should be discarded and superseded if they have become nasty or soiled, if they get wet or if they have become firm and are not pliable enough to insert properly. Using the same pair of earplugs for sleeping for too much time can cause health issues. It is best to obtain many pairs at once if you plan on utilizing earplugs for listening to or composing music or for loud events, mainly because foam earplugs can be easy to lose. For events, consider earplugs which were attached with a lanyard, making them a lot more challenging to drop. If you listen to or perform music, then you may desire somewhat higher end musicians earplugs.

For extended use, give some thought to more expensive custom molded earplugs. These can even be created to dampen out certain noises, such as your partner snoring. Also, they are not as likely to cause damage to your ears with long-term use.
