Good ear plugs?

[willhub]

Hi.

Basically, some nights I'm trying to sleep and my flat mates are making a racket, they're having a flat party on Friday night and I need to be up at half 7 in the morning.

Need something to drown out the noise as I can't complain it's a Friday night. Is there anything like ear plugs that can do a decent drop of drowning out enough noise that I can get to sleep?


Thanks
Will.

Wax ear plugs

They mould to fit your ear and tend to stay in a bit better than foam ones. Although I must admit I tend to only use foam ones as these can mould a bit too well and be hard to take out!

The top ones in the link below do a great job of drowning out my noisy flatmate who's tv is located about a foot and a half from where I sleep.

Foam ones work for me, visit your local motorbike shop and see what they have on offer.

I use "spark plugs" my ears are fairly small so most others just stick out my ear even if they properly put in

What are the db ratings for? Do they drown out noise down to say 26db?

Without hesitation Bioears from Boots for under a fiver. Absolutely superb (made of wax) that you mould to your ear canal: reusable

its designed to reduce noise you hear by that much, although it can vary a bit depending on how you wear them and the shape of your ears etc

Yes mate no problem we use them in work all the time I will grab you a few bags and post them to you. PM me via trust your postage address and as for cost never worry as I doubt it will be very much

I use a set of etymotic er20 earplugs. Had them years from when I had my first band.

Comfy and basically unless they're blasting it a few feet from your head you won't hear them.

When my sisters family stays (bunch of pet elephants!) I use laser ear plugs, if you do a search on ebay they come up as the pink and yellow ones.

They're brilliant, I can't hear a thing with them in.

Ok my snoring is really bad, I feel sorry for the neighbours nevermind the poor love of my life lying next to me. You think ear plugs would help her? Obviously they will to some degree, but another problem would be sleeping past her alarm, anyone got any ideas for wake up calls with ear plugs in?

Set her mobile alarm to vibrate and put in under her pillow etc
