Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard Leight LL1 Laser Lite Earplugs no Cords (200 ct)Customer Review: Works great Summary: 4 Stars
They work, plain and simple. I previously bought the green, cone shaped ear plugs from "x" brand (I actually don't recall the name [nor do I ever want to think of the name again], because I threw them away as soon as I bought these.) Skip whatever other brand you were thinking of buying and give these a try first. They work!
1.) Make sure you read the directions. I never knew this, but apparently there is a proper way to place the ear plugs in your ear. It takes more than just "rolling them up and shoving them in." You have to do it in such a way that they are properly placed deep inside the canal, as to provide maximum comfort, keep them from falling out during the night and maximize the sound buffering.
2.) If you find that your ears are sore - if you're the kind of person who wears them at night time as I do - give it about 2 weeks. Also, take a few days off to let your ears adjust and recover. When I first started wearing them, my ears were very sore the next morning. It also felt very awkward to wear them throughout the night. But now, 3-4 weeks later, my ears are not sore at all, they stay in all night and they are only MILDLY uncomfortable. The only really annoying thing is that my ears get very itchy in the morning. Usually I can remedy this by scratching my ear OVER the ear plug. Then I just pass out again and all is well.
Tip: Don't take them out during the morning, because you'll never get them back in. Your hands will A.) Be way too fatigued and tired and B.) The earplug will be much too warm and pliable. If you plan on doing that, keep a "cold" spare pair hanging around the bed somewhere that you can conveniently and easily reach. I keep a spare pair on the bottom of my window sill, since the head of my bed is near the window.
What else? They do an excellent job! Also, I noticed I have less ear wax these days. I have no idea why or what the scientific explanation is behind this, but I definitely don't have as much ear wax - I would guess it has something to do with the air interacting with the skin in your ear canal and since you cut off the air supply you cut off the wax production. Kind of a cool side effect. Also, strangely enough, after about 1 month of using these, the tinnitus in my left ear has diminished dramatically. I have no idea why, but I suspect it's because i'm not using my fan for "white noise" anymore and that has probably given my ear drums a much needed rest. I always felt that I was abusing my ear drums using the fan as white noise. But no more!
So give these a try! And wait 2 weeks before you make any conclusions.
