Engage 2 Plus Ear Plugs - Noise Relief with Clear Speech + Mute | 16dB SNR noise reduction + Mute for extra coverage. For social gatherings, work, conversation & parenting

I have sensitive hearing, and in the past I've used earplugs that I found uncomfortable and that didn't fit me at all. I'd given up on finding something that worked for me, when a friend told me about Loop. I did a LOT of research online, these earplugs are not cheap throw-aways. Eventually I took the plunge. I was happy to see that there were different sizes (I have small ear passages), and I specifically chose the type of Loop that is designed for different sound levels. The earplugs arrived promptly, very well (and attractively) packaged. I carefully put one in, a twist to get it settled and I was very happy how well it fit. With both in I was astonished how much the sound around me was muted. I tried them with the insert on and it worked as promised, muting the sound even more. I like that the earplug sits pretty flush to the ear, I've napped with them on and had no issues with comfort even though I sleep on my side. Removing the earplug is very easy, just another slight twist and a pull. I like the little case that comes with them, it holds the earplugs securely and so far hasn't opened accidentally. I wouldn't feel comfortable attaching the case to my keyring or exterior of any handbag, though. That could just be me. I've used the earplugs at the theatre, babysitting my friend's toddler who is cute but loud, in the grocery store, in planes, at coffee shops. I'm really happy that I can select how much volume I want muted, from almost complete silence to dulling loud noises. They're comfortable enough to wear for long stretches of time and easy to remove in a second if I need to talk to someone. Some people complained that the earplugs made their breathing very noticable. It's true, and the sudden shock lack of external noise seems to highlight it. I was super motivated to push through it because I really suffer without earplugs, but I also thought the breathing noises were natural and easy to ignore. A few hours in I didn't notice them at all and on subsequent days I felt it was negligible. I'd also like to mention that the earplugs are pretty discreet. I have clear ones, and even with the black mute ring attached they are unnoticeable. There are plenty of vibrant colors if you want to accessorize with the earplugs, and their interesting design make them look fun. I wish I'd had these earplugs years ago. They reduced my stress levels a lot.

These have been really cool and seem to work really well. If you struggle with being overwhelmed by lots of noise but still need to be able to hear, these might be for you. When I’m wearing them, I can hear very well, even small sounds, but it just takes the edge off of the louder noises to make you feel a little calmer. I like the color, the customizable options to add an additional mute if needed, and the carrying case is great too.

I have been using Loop ear plugs for years. They offer just the right amount of noise cancelation. Really great for those who are sensitive to sound. They are extremely comfortable. They fit perfectly in your ear (and they include several different sizes.) They come with a nifty (and stylish) carrying case. I highly recommend.

I have an unknown cochlear/trigeminal issue at the moment, and one of the intermittent issues I have is hyperacusis - my ear will become hypersensitive to low-frequency sounds. This means something like a cutting board set down on a counter will be very painful, but whacking on that same counter with wooden spoons will have very little effect. Something as light as tossing a paper cup into a trash bin can hurt, if it happens to hit a lower frequency upon contact. Anyway, I have foam earplugs, and those actually work quite well, so I had hopes for these. However, for some reason they don't work very well for me. The silicon and the foam both hardly cut down on the low frequencies (which are notoriously difficult to block) and worse, they reflect internal sounds, like chewing or clicking the teeth together, making them painful whereas before they were not. When my condition is bad I can't even eat regular chocolate M&Ms without pain. Yet I don't have this issue with cheap foam earplugs. But excepting when the condition is very bad these do help by blunting most sounds. I've worn these, sometimes, for hours and had no issue. I've tried both with and without the inner ring and there's not much difference, though it is detectable. They are comfortable in-ear for a while, though eventually the ear begins to ache a bit at the contact point. For me, this took hours to manifest. They are easy to insert and remove, and they stay in place. In terms of appearance - when I started wearing foam earplugs I didn't want people to see them and ask about them, but as I trim mine so they don't protrude, I have had no remarks. No one has said anything about when I wear these either. I checked in the mirror and they look fine, I think the ring shape helps give them a coherent visual form, which - in a world where many people wear wireless earbuds - makes them look normal. So if you are self-conscious as I used to be about these things, it's probably fine. You can't see them at all from most angles, and when you can see them, they don't attract attention. I think they are at least worth a try. I use mine rarely, but still keep them in my work bag, just in case my condition starts to act up, and they are very small and very easy to carry around. The case is nice and compact, you could fit it nearly anywhere you needed.

3 month update: I still love these! We went on a trip for Thanksgiving and my spouse forgot his cpap machine; he knew he was going to sleep poorly but also apologized because he knew his snoring would keep me up at night. Fortunately I had my Loops in my purse! The case is so small I had forgotten they were in there, but these little guys saved my sleep -- I didn't sleep in complete silence, but it was enough noise cancellation that I was able to fall and stay asleep and ignore the snoring. I have also used them many times at home and at work for those days when I am extra sensitive to sounds and it has saved my sanity multiple times. For people who say these don't work, I'd recommend going to the Loop website and looking at the different features of each style of Loop. These are specifically designed to fade out the sound (moreso if you use the white mutes inside the plugs) and make it sound more distant. The Engages are not the ones you would want for sleeping or if you wanted complete silence. The thing I like the best about them is, unlike other ear plugs, I don't have to listen to my own voice echoing in my head because I find the feedback loop distracting. I work in an office with a very loud coworker and these mute him just enough that I don't have to listen to his conversations and can focus on my work but I can have a conversation with someone just fine. These fit very well in my ear and offer a lot of options for tips. They are undetectable in my ears, and I can keep them in for a full 8 hours at work with no problems. The carrying case is very small, maybe the size of a half dollar so easy to carry but also easy to lose. I wouldn't feel comfortable using the carrying loop to hook to my bag or anything because I'm not sure how sturdy it is. Are these overpriced? Maybe, but I they are exactly what I was looking for.

Went on multiple 3-hour walking tours in Europe with these in and the effectiveness isn’t just great, it’s perfect. I could hear the tour guide perfectly and it dampened all of the unwanted noise (even a jackhammer that the guide himself was getting visibly mad at) that usually makes me an irritable witch by the end of tours. Who knew this was the answer all along. The small size was making my ear itch because of the friction but the extra small is perfect! Love that it comes with a huge range of sizes and you don’t have to pay more to get what you need.

Open mouth chewing sounds (unless it's a dog, then it's cute) has always irritated me so much to the point of disgust. These ear plugs solved it. They fit great, are comfortable, and I can still hear conversations. They really kill the chewing sounds.

NOTE: ADHD does not manifest the same in everyone. This is just my personal impression. I am an adult with ADHD with a background in education and have 2 sons with ADHD. One of my persistent struggles is the common ADHD issue of not being able to prioritize sounds in my brain. So when I am trying to engage in conversation or listen to a public speaker, my brain treats every sound as equally important, from the person talking to me, to the ceiling fan, or the person blowing their nose in the next room. I am on a low dose of ADHD medication and regularly use multiple techniques recommended to me by specialists. Because of all this, it is rare for me to find something new that makes a noticeable difference in my day-to-day. These earplugs make a noticeable difference! I brought work to do while waiting for my son to finish a class, and I was shocked by how much I could get done with these in! Normally, trying to work in the lobby is impossible! I brought them to the pool while my boys were playing with friends. I could still hear them call my name when they needed something, but I could also focus on my book when I wanted to read (my boys are 12 years old and up, and strong swimmers). I liked them so well I have purchased a second pair for my 17 year old ADHD son to try! A couple of things: -I do prefer these to the cheap expanding earplugs you would normally get for one-time use. Loop blocks enough of the sound without blocking too much, and is more comfortable for me than the foam. The expanding foam tends to irritate my ears. -Try the different size rubber pieces to see what works for you. I need one size for one ear and a different size for the other. But the right fit makes a big difference.

I can not describe how lifechanging these earplugs are and have been for me. I get overstimulated by sounds very easily, especially in social contexts. With these my daily day changed radically due to them almost completely reducing backgroundnoise at the same time as you can hear quite clearly. Other plugs block out sounds but then you hear your own heartbeat or footsteps superclear which is almost worse than without. These have enabled me to focus and participate in things I hesitated about before. It comes with a set of different sizes in earplugs so you don't have to worry in advance about it fitting your ear and the superplus is that it also comes with a small piece you put inside if you want to completely block out sounds. It's almost like the super noise reducing headphones you can but from Apple. You can have these in all day without anyone notice it and also sleep comfortably on the side, the design is made in a way where it's nothing sticking out. I can not recommend these enough. Lifesaver is how I best would describe them.

What they don't tell you: Wear supportive shoes unless you want to hear each of your own footsteps like you're walking on a drum Getting used to the volume of your own voice being significantly disproportionate to everything else takes time. The dampener rings seal so well that you feel a pressure change when you use them. I'm honestly impressed by how it feels calmer being in malls or big noisy spaces.

Ze zijn best fijn, en ik keek op YouTube en andere reviews dat je je eigen stem hoorde en best boomie klonk maar valt echt reuzen mee. Ik heb dit gehaald om dat als ik overprikkeld ben en een lange dag heb gehad, dat mijn oren slecht tegen luiden geluiden tegen kunnen vooral als ik me muziek hard zet in de auto dan ruis het voor die milliseconden en dat is niet oké. Maar effe wennen en met deze oortjes heb ik dat niet meer. Tuurlijk ga je niet zo makkelijk gesprek voeren als iemand zacht praat maar normalen dingen of activiteiten of muziek a concert of iets degelijk luids zijn dit goed genoeg. En het verbaast me ook dat ze bass of lage tonen goed doorheen laten want daar heb ik juist geen last van, ik heb meer last van hoge tonen en luiden dingen en deze oortjes dempen dat goed genoeg. Net op dat sweet spot dat het nog gwn oké klinkt. Ik ben blij en zou dit zeker nog een x kopen of een andere oortjes van loop proberen. Het helpt echt. En ik schaam me er niet voor om met zo’n ding in mijn oor te rijden of als ik in een luide omgeving ben. Want het belangrijkste is dat je voor jezelf kiest en doet wat goed is voor je. En dit doet dat. Dikke duimpje omhoog, succes met lezen iedereen, want ja wie leest mijn review lol

Los compré para viajar en moto, no molestan con el casco y es genial como eliminan el ruido del motor manteniendo perfectamente la audición de las voces y la música. Con el accesorio mute ya no se oye prácticamente nada, ideal para dormir Hay distintos tamaños y una cajita de viaje muy práctica. Una compra estupenda

Polecam, super wyciszające. Głowa odpoczywa przy głośniej muzyce ale Także przy wariackich zabawach dzieci 😃
