At least i don't have to hear my heartbeat.
Thank goodness for the top reviews on here helping me sort out what to buy.
I suffer from too things: a husband that snores louder than I ever thought possible, and small ears. I've tried countless ear plugs during the course of our relationship, and these are, hands down, the most comfortable.
...but they aren't the most effective. I always look at the pr rating and these were among the highest, but they really don't cancel out as much noise as others with the same rating. Probably because they're smaller so they do not expand to cover as much room as others do. This is also why they're so comfortable and I don't wake up with the ear pain I've experienced with others.
Basically, life sucks because you can't have it all. I either get optimal noise reduction and discomfort, or some noise reduction and total comfort. I'm happy that these aren't so constricting that I hear my heartbeat, but after I inevitably lose all 50 pairs to my cats colon, I'll probably just rebuy the green ones I've been finding at Walmart (more expensive because I can't buy them in bulk, but they really offer the best balance of comfort and noise reduction).
