Which type of sound-isolating earplugs is better?

In bustling cities, sometimes we need some quiet time to relax. However, external noise often disturbs our rest and work. At this time, wearing a pair of sound-isolating earplugs is usually the best option.

Currently, soundproof earplugs are mostly in-ear style: they can be inserted into the ear canal to block sound from entering the middle and inner ear. They are mainly divided into three types:

Silicone earplugs:
Silicone earplugs need to be softened by soaking in warm water before use. Due to the soft and curved inner wall of the ear canal, if the earplugs are too hard, it may cause redness and swelling of the ear canal or ear pain due to not conforming to the curvature of the ear canal. Therefore, they are generally not suitable for long-term use. However, silicone earplugs are easy to clean and can be reused.

Foam earplugs:
Foam earplugs have good softness and hardness, making the ear canal comfortable, and they have good soundproofing effects without discomfort even after long-term use. Foam earplugs are made of low-pressure foam molding material and high-elastic polyester material. The surface of the noise-canceling earplugs is smooth, with slow rebound, and there is no feeling of swelling or pain in the ears during use, with a soundproofing effect between 25dB and 40dB. This type of earplug is very suitable for use during sleep every night. However, due to the weakening of the slow rebound effect after washing, foam earplugs are generally disposable after use. However, with the development of science, there are now some foam earplugs on the market that can be reused for over six months and can be washed.

Wax earplugs:
Wax earplugs are the originators of noise-canceling earplugs. They can be softened by hand and shaped to fit the ear canal. However, the disadvantage is that they are not hygienic enough, wax may also remain in the ear canal, making them difficult to clean. Moreover, wearing them for a long time may cause a feeling of swelling and pain in the ears.

BET SLUMBUR is an innovative soundproof earplug in 2024. It belongs to silicone earplugs but uses advanced passive technology to filter out external noise. They are made with a patented honeycomb microcrystalline filter that achieves true noise reduction at specific target frequencies.

Comfort is key when it comes to earplugs. That's why we offer four sizes of BET SLUMBUR earplugs, allowing users to choose the ones that best fit their ear size.

In addition, our earplugs can quickly equalize ear pressure in just 15 seconds. You can sleep on your side without any pressure.
