Using Earplugs For Snoring

Why wearing snoring earplugs could be the solution for many couples to get restful sleep!

There have been rumors that wearing earplugs can help to stop snoring. As far as I am concerned the only person it will help is the person sleeping in the same room as the snorer. If you’ve ever had to sleep with a person that snores you have probably thought of wrapping their head in a pillow or sleeping in another room to avoid the terrible noise all night.

Different Types of Snoring and Earplugs [an error occurred while processing this directive] Silicone Earplugs

Silicone ear plugs are popular among many that use snoring earplugs because of their fit. The earplugs are not designed to fit in the ear canal but in the outer ear over the opening. The silicone creates a seal over the ear canal muffling sound and making it easier for people to sleep next to a snoring partner. Silicone snoring earplugs have a tendency to last longer than wax earplugs; however, because they are sticky they must be stored in their packaging. Any amount of time in the open air is likely to attract dust and render the earplugs unusable.

Wax Earplugs

Wax snoring earplugs are another popular choice. These wax earplugs are balls of wax which fill the ear to muffle all noise and conform to the ear exactly. These wax ear plugs will usually only be effective for a couple of uses but are usually sold in packs of eight or ten.

Wax snoring earplugs are often comfortable all night and will stay in place out side the ear canal with little difficulty. Many people find the wax earplugs more comfortable than foam because they become nearly unnoticeable after a few minutes; they will match and maintain body temperature and they are soft and light.

Foam Earplugs

Foam snoring earplugs are some of the most common types available. Some are made from dense foam that will hold its shape for a year or more even with daily use. When buying foam snoring earplugs, choose high quality plugs such as SnorPlugs as they are intended to be comfortable for long wear and to maintain their shape over a year or more of use. They absorb moisture in the ear canal and which can help them to feel comfortable longer. This dense foam earplug is designed to keep out nearly all sounds. Users however have said that they are still able to hear their alarm clock, door bell, or children when wearing the plugs.

However, many people find that foam snoring earplugs can fall out or become uncomfortable as they sleep because there is something stuffed in their ear. For people with that problem an over the ear sound blocker could be more effective.
