Earplug manufacturing options
So how do you make your own earplugs? They are made from different materials and in different ways, so you can choose from the options below.
Earplugs made of foam or cotton wool
To make soft earplugs, prepare: cotton wool (you can use cotton balls) or foam rubber, thin elastic bands, a plastic bag or cling film and scissors.
Instructions:
- Cut or tear off two identical small pieces of cotton wool or foam rubber, give them a rounded conical shape that repeats the anatomical structure of the auricles.
- Cut out two squares of plastic or cling film. The size is about 6x6 cm or a little more.
- Take one decorated piece of cotton wool (foam rubber), place it in the center of the polyethylene square, wrap it in the material, twist the free part and fix it directly under the base with an elastic band. Make the second fixture in the same way.
These earplugs are suitable for reusable but short-term use.
Plasticine earplugs
If you have plasticine, then it can also be taken as a basis for homemade earplugs. It replaces cotton wool or foam rubber as described above, so the process will be the same. First, you warm up and soften the plasticine in your palms, then form cones with rounded ends from it. Place the blank in a square section of a bag or cling film, wrap, twist the free end of the outer material, fix with a thin elastic band.
Useful information! To get the plasticine earplugs into the shape of your ears, warm them up with your hands before use. The softened pliable plasticine, when the devices are placed in the auricles, will take their shape, which will provide comfort.
Earplugs from old headphones
If you have old non-working headphones, then you will make earplugs out of them. There are models with silicone tips that fit snugly into the ears. With such headphones, practically nothing needs to be done: cut off the wires at their junction and tie or glue them so that the devices are paired and not lost.
If you have regular plastic earbuds, you will also need scissors and silicone swimming earplugs. The manufacturing steps are as follows:
- Remove the top layer of foam from the headphones using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
- In the wide parts of the silicone earplugs, use scissors to form indentations slightly smaller in diameter than the prepared old headphones.
- Now insert the headphones into the holes created in the plugs. For better adhesion, you can use a safe, non-allergenic adhesive such as silicone.
- Cut off the headphone wires, connect the ends to attach the pair.
Earplugs from a ready-made set
On sale you can find ready-made kits for homemade earplugs. The set includes two materials, differing in color and texture. Both components are hypoallergenic and elastic, due to which they do not cause undesirable reactions and take the form of the ear canals.
So, open the package, remove both materials and divide each into two equal parts. Mix different components to create a homogeneous substance. Place the fragment in the ear and leave it in it for 10-15 minutes, so that it has time to take the anatomical shape and fix in this state. Ready.
Toilet paper earplugs
If you find yourself in a noisy environment in which you need to sleep and sleep, then use the materials at hand - toilet paper.
Instructions step by step:
- Tear off two small pieces from a roll of toilet paper.
- Roll both fragments into balls.
- Moisten each ball slightly with water, squeeze out the excess.
- Place the balls in your ears so that they conform to the shape of a shell and fit comfortably inside.
These earplugs are suitable for short-term disposable use, as they create a moist environment inside the ears, favorable for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, moisture can be uncomfortable. And after removing the paper balls are deformed and crumble.
Warnings
- If you find yourself in a noisy hotel or on a bus and trying to fall asleep, refrain from ripping off a piece of a handkerchief or bath sponge and plugging it into your ears. The fibers of such objects (especially when they are not disinfected) can cause ear inflammation or even damage to the eardrum. If you are making cotton wool earplugs for yourself, be sure to wrap them in plastic for protection.
- If you are constantly working in a loud noise environment, be sure to follow the safety guidelines. For example, when working with drills in construction or dentistry, you should follow the appropriate industry-specific hearing safety guidelines. Do not rely on homemade hearing protection for this.

The ability to fall asleep in any conditions is not given to so many people. Eighty percent of the adult population is able to fall asleep only in silence, which is not always possible given the noise coming from the street. In this case, earplugs can be a possible solution to the problem of light sleep.
Earplugs are special devices for protecting the hearing aid from various adverse influences, which are earplugs, usually cylindrical in shape. The name of this device is derived from the phrase "take care of your ears."
Depending on the purpose, earplugs are usually divided into varieties. There are earplugs for sleeping, for shallow waters, for diving, for aircraft. They are also divided into adults and children.
In everyday life, earplugs are most often used for sleeping. Correctly chosen earplugs fit well to the ear canal and are able to protect sleep from the noise of repairs in a neighboring apartment or an unnecessarily loud holiday.
For the manufacture of this device, a variety of materials are used: PVC, wax, polyvinyl chloride, propylene, silicone. There are a great variety of material options, since, unfortunately, none of them is perfect. There is only one regularity: the softer the material from which the earplugs are made, the worse their noise reduction. But it is the soft materials that provide the greatest comfort due to the ability to conform to the shape of the ear canal. So the choice of material is always a balance between comfort and noise reduction.
Most often, you can find earplugs made of foam, wax and silicone on sale.
However, there are situations when it is not possible to immediately go to the pharmacy and purchase earplugs, but they are needed at this very moment.
Making earplugs at home is very quick and easy. It is enough to have some soft material available, for example, pharmaceutical cotton wool or soft foam rubber.
If the earplugs are made of foam rubber, then it is enough just to cut out small cylinders from it. This shape is more anatomical and comfortable. Cylindrical earplugs will not wrinkle, which means they will not put pressure on the ear canal. You just need to remember that these cylinders must be long enough so that they can then be removed, but at the same time they must not touch the eardrum.
Cotton wool earplugs are, in fact, small cotton balls wrapped in cellophane or plastic wrap.The ends of such an impromptu "bag" are tied with a thread. Cotton earplugs are good at muffling noise and are soft enough not to interfere with normal sleep.
But all homemade earplugs are disposable. They cannot be reused.
What earplugs can be made of
People spend the third part of their lives in a dream. Sound sleep is very important for health, it improves mood and restores physical strength. But what to do if you calmly fall asleep at night and rest during the day are disturbed by extraneous sounds: the hum of cars in the yard, the crying of neighbors' children, the barking of dogs, the snoring of your beloved spouse? When a tired person wants silence, annoying noise causes discomfort and irritation.
In this situation, a simple device from noise helps - earplugs, which can be purchased at the pharmacy or made on your own. They look like small tampons, widened at the base and narrowed at the upper end. They are made of elastic materials, so they are easily inserted into the ear canal and take the shape of the auricles. Thanks to these properties, the headphones have a universal size and completely protect their wearer from annoying sounds.
What are earplugs and what are they for?
Earplugs for night rest are in high demand. The modern market offers a fairly wide range of different types of sleep earplugs that are used for a variety of purposes, including a comfortable night's rest.
The main purpose of earplugs is to protect the ears from noise irritants. By using comfortable ear plugs, a person protects their head from unnecessary noise, which can cause anxiety and prevent sleep. In addition, it is recommended to wear earplugs during the bathing procedure to prevent liquid and other microparticles from entering the ears, which are present in both open and covered reservoirs. Such devices are also used while shooting, traveling, flying, swimming. Products of this kind can also be useful for musicians.
Earplugs look like miniature compact tampons. Sometimes products resemble bullets with tapered ends and widened bases. Due to the peculiarities of the material of manufacture and small dimensions, the products can be given the desired shape, for example, by making them already on one side, depending on the specific shape of the human ear canals.
How to do it yourself?
Earplugs for ears can be made independently from scrap materials. Simplified instructions for making "noise plugs" from cotton balls:
You will need a pack of standard regular-sized cotton balls, which we buy from a pharmacy or a cosmetic store. Sterile or non-sterile, it doesn't matter. Wash my hands well so as not to infect the ear canal. We tear off small pieces from a cotton ball. Then we roll them into balls, which should fit comfortably in the ear canal. We use a small piece of polyethylene to wrap a cotton ball. It will protect the ear canal from getting pieces of cotton wool. A foreign body left in the ear canal can cause inflammation and suppuration. We wrap the ball tightly, but do not flatten it. Form must persist
We very carefully insert homemade earplugs into the ears to estimate the size. They should fit comfortably and comfortably in the ear canal. Do not stick them too deeply to avoid injury.
Tie the tail of polyethylene with a thread or elastic band. You can use homemade earplugs for about a week. In the process of application, bacteria, earwax, etc. accumulate on them. Therefore, after about 6-7 days, it is necessary to make new
Do not insert them too deeply to avoid injury. Tie the tail of polyethylene with a thread or elastic band. You can use homemade earplugs for about a week.In the process of application, bacteria, earwax, etc. accumulate on them. Therefore, after about 6-7 days it is necessary to make new ones.
What to replace?
You can use the homemade earplugs described in the previous section. Or use several of the available tools at the same time to help reduce noise. For example, we put cotton wool in our ears and put on headphones on top. However, it should be noted that the purchased high-quality earplugs will be an order of magnitude more effective than any home earplugs.
How to choose?
There are a few helpful tips to consider when choosing ear plugs. For example, to avoid hearing problems, it is necessary to choose the right size for your ear canals. Small products will not be able to muffle the sound properly. They are more difficult to extract.
Large earplugs will increase the air pressure inside the ear canals, creating discomfort for the wearer. The earbuds to be matched must completely cover the ear canals; you need to purchase comfortable earmolds. The level of elasticity is important. If it is low, there will be no complete silence.
The material from which the product is made must be as soft and safe as possible. Silicone models are considered one of the best. They can be washed with water, treated with hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or a special gel. It is necessary to choose hypoallergenic models that meet hygienic standards. The surface of the products must be smooth: any defects can cause damage to the skin.
It is undesirable to purchase modifications, the declared sound insulation of which is less than 20 dB. Models with noise absorption within 35 dB are considered the best option for sleeping. Dedicated high-power varieties can isolate noise up to 85dB
When buying, you need to pay attention to the characteristics of a particular model, its purpose
Reviews of real buyers are an important criterion for buying. They can be scrolled through on forums or testimonials dedicated to this topic. Often, it is the opinions of those who have tested this or that product in practice that will tell better than the manufacturer's advertisement. So you can find out reliable information not only about the quality, but also about the safety of a particular product for the skin and hearing.
Earplugs have recommended expiration dates. If you plan to use earplugs only occasionally, it is advisable to opt for disposable wax options. For daily use, reusable products are needed. But if the model is incorrectly selected, it can lead to pain in the temporomandibular joint.
When choosing the best models, you need to pay attention to the liner. If the packaging does not contain detailed information about the manufacturer and a specific product, you should look for models from other companies.
At the same time, the price of a good product does not have to be high at all. It is worth paying attention to the number of pairs: earplugs are sold in pairs, as well as in packages of different sizes.
Regardless of preferences, you need to take the product that has a quality certificate. These documents confirm the fact that the product is made taking into account the norms and requirements of TU and GOST. Ask your dealer for the Sound Reduction Index. The higher it is, the better the protection.
When buying products for children, keep in mind that the use of earplugs should not become a habit. Otherwise, addiction cannot be avoided. The child may have trouble sleeping. He will have to get used to sleeping without plugs long enough.

How to properly insert soft foam earplugs into your ears?
Such information is on every package with this miracle invention, which helps a person fall asleep in conditions of some noise (for example, on a trip, with a night owl neighbor, residents of large cities and megalopolises).
Usually, the following information is present on the packaging with earplugs:
Purpose of earplugs: protection of hearing organs from adverse influences (noise).
Noise reduction level: for example, it can be 29 dB for soft earplugs.
The composition of the earplugs: can be polypropylene (which will be discussed below), silicone.
Also on the packaging is usually written the date of manufacture and the results of the state sanitary and epidemiological examination.
The method of use must necessarily be prescribed in the package of this product.
How to insert soft foam earplugs
At first glance, the method of using earplugs is simple, but from the first attempts to correctly insert this invention into the ears, not everyone succeeds. The main thing is to read the rules for their use several times (which are written on their packaging) and remember how to do what. Just in case, we lay out the method of using soft foam earplugs, which is described on the package. Carefully read the instructions on the packaging with earplugs before use! This instruction is not suitable for all earplugs, as they may differ in both shape and material of manufacture.
- Make sure your hands and ear canal are clean and dry. Then roll the liner into a tight and smooth cylinder. An improperly rolled cylinder can cause pain in the ear, so it should be rolled exactly according to the instructions.
With your opposite hand, grasp the ear plug and slowly insert it into the ear canal in a circular motion, pushing forward to form an airtight seal.
After inserting the liner, you need to hold it with your fingers a little (for a few seconds, you will feel when the cylinder returns to its original shape) so that it straightens out for comfortable and safe use. Do not use for protection from water (for this, special devices must be purchased separately, after consulting a doctor).
ATTENTION! Incorrect insertion of the earplugs can result in reduced noise protection as well as hearing loss or injury to the ear canal!
Using earplugs. You can use these earplugs several times or until the time when dirt or earwax begins to appear on them. Do not allow any liquid, even water, to come into contact with the earplugs.
The expiry date of the foam earplugs is usually unlimited. It is usually convenient to store in a small plastic special container, which can be bought at the pharmacy along with earplugs.
Polyurethane earplugs with a holder or on a bow
Moldex WaveBand 2K earplugs. These earplugs do not need to be twisted by hand. The polyurethane earbuds are located at the end of the polymer rod or headband - just insert the earmold into your ear and press lightly to close the ear canal like a plug. This is convenient if you have to use the products in unhygienic conditions, for example, in production. You can remove and insert earplugs several times without touching them with your hands.
The earplugs on the holders are reusable. They are allowed to be washed with soap. When the polyurethane tips wear out, they are simply removed and replaced with new ones.
Suitable for: intermittent industrial noise, gunfire, loud music.
Pros: Soft, hypoallergenic, reusable. No need to twist by hand.
Cons: Lower noise reduction than tapered polyurethane earplugs. They absorb moisture well, therefore it is not recommended to use in conditions of high temperature and humidity (for example, in hot shops).
My little story about why I sleep with earplugs. How to properly insert them into your ears so that they do not fall out during sleep? How to eradicate the desire to kill your snoring soul mate or noisy neighbors?
A sound sleep is one of the most important factors in a happy life. Agree, it is difficult to be positive and smile at others if you constantly want to sleep. Spring has come, and I remembered why I have been sleeping with earplugs every night for several years.
I have always had a bad sleep, and I wrote more about this in a review on sleeping pills, but some problems are not able to defeat even the strongest pills. Several years ago, I moved into an apartment on the fifth floor, which looked out onto a small, very densely forested plot of land between the houses. And it so happened that the most comfortable branches for birds were located just opposite my windows. With the onset of the warm season, these feathered companions gathered at dawn and began to sing and communicate very loudly. That my home was temporary, there were ordinary old wooden windows that did not drown out these serenades at all. Then I worked from one in the afternoon until one in the morning, respectively, I had to get up for work at 11 in the morning, but the flying alarm clocks raised me at 4-5 in the morning, despite the fact that I went to bed at 2 in the morning. And there were also cats who liked to hang around and call females in the shade of those trees. After suffering for several days, I realized that I needed earplugs. But as it turned out, finding good ones is not so easy. At first, the yellow ones in a cardboard box fell into my hands. These earplugs constantly fell out of the ears, it was impossible to put them in so that they did not interfere. There were also yellow ones in a translucent white container, which were also unsuccessful. And somehow, quite by accident, I bought Moldex in a translucent colored case. Since then, neither birds, nor loud neighbors, nor household members rustling in the morning have interfered with my sleep.
They are sold in a set of 4 pieces, the container can be conveniently opened and closed, although it happens that the lid breaks off. When I bought them for the first time, they cost about 60-70 rubles. Now - from 110 to 130 rubles, depending on the pharmacy. The containers are always round, about 5.5 cm in diameter, and come in a variety of colors.
Above is the name of the company, below is a sticker with a detailed description and instructions for use. The earplugs themselves are white with multi-colored stains. Soft and smooth to the touch. If you squeeze them, they do not straighten out immediately - this is their charm.
To correctly insert the earplugs into your ears, you need to roll each one between your fingers to this state:
And immediately insert all the way. Within a few seconds after this, you will feel the ear fill with something. These earplugs adapt best to the shape of the ear inside, they are soft enough, practically do not interfere, you quickly get used to them.
From the outside, it looks like this:
How Moldex earplugs work. In fact, sleep earplugs do not offer complete protection against high frequency sounds. They must protect against low frequency noise such as traffic noise, rain and the like. At the same time, these earplugs drowned out the singing of birds and cats well for me. Now I live on the second floor, with windows facing the courtyard. Through several houses there is a busy road, and in the courtyard periodically cars pass and walk on the benches of the company. The young man rarely snores, but it happens. Sometimes my mother comes to watch TV and rattles pots in the kitchen in the morning, does something in the corridor and in her room. The soundproofing in the apartment is terrible, but thanks to these earplugs, nothing prevents me from sleeping. Also, I use them on trips. It is always noisy on airplanes and trains, I get very tired of these sounds and cannot read normally. Ear plugs can help you focus better on the book.
Many are worried about the question. Do earplugs prevent you from hearing the alarm? As for the phone calls and the alarm clock, I can hear them perfectly in the morning. Of course quieter than they actually sound, but this does not bother me to wake up.
Life time. I change earplugs for new ones as they become visibly dirty. It is best to store them in their own container so that they do not get dusty during the day. I didn't count exactly how much time I use one pair, but it seems to me about a month. I heard someone washes them, I have not tried. I think it is much more hygienic to change them to new ones, especially since the price is not so high.
If you are thinking about which earplugs to choose, feel free to grab the cute Moldex round case. I was very pleased with them and recommend them to everyone.
Thank you for the attention!

Conical PU Foam Earplugs
Earplugs Moldex Spark Plugs... Foamed polyurethane has a porous structure, thanks to which it perfectly absorbs sounds. Therefore, the main purpose of earplugs made of this material is noise protection. Some models have a noise reduction level of 36 dB (for example, Moldex Pura Fit earbuds). Although there are earbuds that reduce the noise level by only 20-24 dB. They drown out very loud sounds, but at the same time allow you to maintain contact with the environment (for example, Moldex MelLows).
Conical polyurethane earplugs are disposable because they do not have a holder. To put such an earplug into the ear canal, you must first twist it with your fingers. And this is not very hygienic. But in principle, if you do not touch the material with dirty hands, you can use one pair up to 3-4 times.
In the ear canal, the twisted ear plug expands and fills it. The maximum level of noise absorption is achieved when the dome is completely immersed in the ear canal and its tip does not protrude beyond the tragus (the external cartilage that covers the opening of the ear canal).
Suitable for: sleeping, shooting, prolonged exposure to noise at work, a music concert, playing musical instruments, riding a motorcycle, flying.
Pros: Hypoallergenic, soft, comfortable in the ears. They also protect against high noise levels. Convenient to wear under a helmet and hard hat.
Cons: Not recommended to wash (water reduces the ability of the polyurethane foam to shrink and reshape)
It is important to put it in your ears with clean hands. Not suitable for swimming
What are they made of
First of all, not only natural materials, but also artificial ones are used to make ear filters. As a rule, the following components are used more often:
- silicone material;
- wax component;
- polyurethane;
- polypropylene.
Important: Many people are guided by the cost of such products. However, although the price is an important factor, it is still not a determinant of quality.
The point is that the brand also influences the pricing.
Each of the listed materials has good performance and durability. Therefore, it is worth considering them in more detail.
Silicone
Silicone earplugs are considered to be of the highest quality, since they have a number of advantages:
- provide reliable sound protection;
- hypoallergenic;
- do not provoke irritation of the ear canal.
It is not necessary to insert this model completely into the auricle, so that part protrudes above the ear canal.
With regard to the application, the sample in question is suitable for multiple use. However, care must be taken to ensure that the processing is correct. If the storage and maintenance conditions are violated, the filters will fail.
Wax
This is the only copy created from natural ingredients. When using wax plugs, from the action of human heat, they begin to melt. Due to this, the softened material fills the ear space and provides high-quality sound insulation.
However, these earplugs also have a number of disadvantages:
- particles of dust and other substances are absorbed into the soft wax;
- hairs often stick;
- after removal, the wax solidifies again, which makes it impossible to disinfect.
Therefore, wax earplugs are used once.
Polyurethane
High quality reusable model with elasticity and softness. It lends itself well to disinfection and is used for a long time.The sample in question effectively absorbs sound.
However, it is important to remember that the polyurethane type of ear plugs is selected according to the size of the auricle. Otherwise, the person will feel discomfort or injure the ear canal.
Polypropylene
- soft and easy to change shape;
- lend themselves well to processing;
- effectively protect against noise.
However, these models have disadvantages. They irritate the skin and are not durable. Of course, foam plugs can hardly be called disposable, but they will not be able to be used for a long time.
Types of earplugs
Earplugs are distinguished by the method of use (disposable and reusable) and by the material used for their manufacture. Each type of earbud has its own pros and cons. Having chosen the right option, you can easily create good conditions for sleep, rest, and sometimes work.
According to the method of use, manufacturers offer disposable and those that are used over and over again. Which of them is preferable to choose for sleep.
Disposable
They are made of wax coated with a protective cotton layer. They are perfect for one-time use, when the need for a competent organization of recreation appears periodically. Sometimes you come across foam inserts with similar characteristics.
Reusable
For constant use, it is better to use reusable earplugs, remembering to take good care of them and change them in time. Careful adherence to the instructions, which are usually attached to the product, will preserve their hygienic cleanliness and protect the user's health. Reusable liners are manufactured with special filters that reduce:
- the noise level is not entirely (used when you want to hear the alarm);
- the degree of pressure (in aircraft or when diving under water).
What should be the guideline when choosing the right earplugs?
Due to the elastic qualities of earplugs, it is not difficult to choose products. When choosing the size, it practically does not matter, since the elastic material fills the space of the ears completely.
If we talk about what characteristics ear tampons should have, then, first of all, it is ease of use. This is due to the fact that they are worn before going to bed, and a person should spend the whole night in them without feeling discomfort.
Which earplugs are best for sleeping? In order to choose the most effective and most comfortable earplugs yourself, you should pay attention to some parameters that will make the choice of a quality product more reasoned. Among them:
- Softness. Soft earplugs are much more comfortable. It is most convenient to use such plugs. Ear swabs that are too hard can put pressure on the ear opening, preventing the resting person from getting a good night's sleep.
- Hygiene. It is recommended to use professional hypoallergenic products. High-quality earplugs must be repellent, protecting against dust and fine sand, as well as other microparticles that can get into the ear opening, for example, while swimming in open water.
- Elasticity. The protective components of the product must completely fill the entire ear opening. If the elasticity of the earplugs is unsatisfactory, the ear space will not be completely closed, that is, the sound insulation will not be effective.
Actually, the best earplugs are the ones that are practically invisible and that absolutely do not let the noise through. It should be noted that polypropylene and silicone products have practically no restrictions regarding the period of use, due to the quality of the material and the possibility of cleaning. As for wax and foam products, they can be used no more than a few times.
Product features
To choose the right earplugs, you should pay attention to some of the features of this product. First of all, the earmolds must be soft enough and pleasant to the touch.
Hard earplugs will crush, cause discomfort, interfere with sleep, and may even be harmful.
The devices must conform to the shape of the ear canal, retaining it after insertion into the ear. During sleep, a person often turns over, changing his position, so the earplugs should hold tightly in the ears and not fall out.
The main task of the earmolds is to protect against extraneous sounds. When buying such a device, you need to make sure that it does the job well. Earplugs should suppress the noise level by 20-40 dB.
It is necessary to choose earplugs from a material that does not attract dust, dirt and is easy to clean. The product must be suitable for easy insertion and removal. Earplugs should not protrude beyond the boundaries of the auricles so as not to interfere with sleep, but should definitely protrude beyond the edge of the ear canal.
Ear tips come in a variety of shapes. "Fungi" have an oblong stem and a wide cap. "Arrows" consist of several tiers, which provide a tighter fit to the walls of the ear canal.
The balls are round and must be squeezed before being inserted into the ear. Inside, they will straighten and take the desired shape. There are other forms of earplugs. It is better to choose the softest earbuds. Some types of earmolds have a connecting cord to keep them from getting lost.
Rules of use, care and contraindications
Using the earmolds is easy. A small instruction manual will help you figure out how to use earplugs correctly.
- Before proceeding with the procedure, you must wash your hands.
- Gently clean your ears with a cotton swab or a piece of cotton wool rolled into a flagellum.
- Pick up earplugs. If they are soft, then squeeze them slightly. Wax earplugs need to be handled a little to soften the wax.
- Using a twisting motion, slowly, insert the device into the ear. The earbuds will unfold and take the desired shape, filling the ear canal. Don't push the earplugs too deep into your ear to avoid causing harm.
- If discomfort is felt, the product must be pulled out of the ear and reinserted. Now you can go to bed.
- After sleeping, the earplugs must be removed from the ears and placed in a special container that comes with the product. To remove the outer ponytail earplugs, simply pull on the outer ponytail. To remove the round earplugs, you need to lightly press your finger on the cavity under the earlobe, and the device will easily come out.
- To clear the ear canal from the sulfur accumulated during the night.
Earplugs need to be cared for properly. They should be washed periodically in warm water and soap and dried thoroughly so that they are completely dry at the time of use.
It is best to store accessories in a special container that protects them from dust and dirt. If the earplugs are damaged or have lost their shape, it is time to replace them with new ones. It is harmful to use someone else's earplugs.
That's right, if each family member has their own earbuds. You need to buy earplugs exclusively at the pharmacy, since only there you can find a quality product.
People who often use earplugs often have a question: can these devices be harmful to health? Otolaryngologists believe that earmolds are not harmful to health, but there are some contraindications to their use.
Earplugs are not recommended for people with sulfur plugs in their ears, because when using earmolds, the plugs are pushed deep into the ear canal and harm the hearing organ. Also, earplugs are contraindicated for people with diseases or damage to the ear canal.
Correct use of earplugs will protect you from extraneous sounds and ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay without harm to your health.
