Ive had tinnitus since I was a kid I found out that small ringing at night wasn't a thing for most people, since then I've tried to protect what I have.

@@swamppotato_ depends on how loud the construction is. if it's around whisper level then the happy ears will cancel them out, but above that it will probably muffle it which will help, but not completely erase it. one thing to note is that he'll hear his heartbeat, breathing and other body noises if he wears the earplugs for long periods, which can be annoying too depending on the person. you will be able to talk since he can take out one of the plugs which is very easy with the happy ears. I sleep super well with them myself but they do fall out sometimes at night. it's annoying since they're hard to find after because they're so small. otherwise it's a great sleep aid, but they do need to be worn some beforehand to soften enough for sleep wear.

Deafening with earwax or with volume? ANC prevents the whole volume situation cause it makes your surroundings quieter making it so that you can listen to your music quieter.

I can't tell you how thankful I am you made this video, man. I've been using earplugs for a while now at night and my ears have been aching and started actually getting dizzy, so I'm going to give the Happy Ears a go soon after I'm done with these silicone ones (also yes, long hair and pillow cases? really fun with them!)

[@FalzarGregar]

Did you get them? How are they?

[@trixy9]

I discovered the Loop earplugs last year and I've been pretty happy with them as well! Especially for sleeping, they're very comfy. I use the Quiet version which is said to reduce sounds by 27dB, they also look pretty good in ear when outside :) I don't know how I functioned before them, I guess I never realised just how noise sensitive I really was.

[@nobodynothing9765]

Same, though I got the plastic ones with removable insides (experience pros). I regretted not getting the silicone quiets though because I realised I could’ve slept in them and I don’t take out the insert anyway

Oh man, thank you... I have a condition in my ear that is extremely distracting and upsetting, and the doctors don't know what it is and don't bother to try and figure it out... I've just started covering my other ear every time it happens, but it really starts hurting after a little while. No earplugs I've tried are good enough or comfortable enough to use daily. This video title in my subscriptions made me super happy, I'll definitely try these

[@zebraloverbridget]

Find yourself a new doctor ASAP. They should not be ignoring symptoms like that! A good doctor admits when they don't know what is wrong, and then suggests / refers you to other doctors that can better help you. They shouldn't just be giving up. Source: had bad doctors dismiss symptoms because they didn't know what it was. Found an internalist DR who did his job very well and immediately knew some of what was wrong. For things he was unsure of, he made that clear to me and sent referrals to the appropriate specialists so they could diagnose those issues.

That little denim jeans pocket was originally used for pocket watches. Miners couldn't wear wrist watches because they'd break and fall off, so they started wearing jeans with a button on top to attach a pocket watch chain and a pocket to store it.

I've been falling asleep with audiobooks for about 10 years now, and after a long time trying to find the right buds I've settled upon the soundmagic pl50's. The driver is really small and the body is tiny, flat and has rounded over edges. They are a little fragile, and the sound is anything to write home about but coupled with a pair of Shure memory foam tips they work an absolute treat. I always sleep on my side and have no sore ears or anything. I hardly notice em. The pl30 are pretty good aswell. Just a tiny bit chunkier

I have a mental disorder called misophonia. It causes me to have EXTREME emotional reactions to certian sounds that I find annoying. All sounds made by people. Being in public sucks, but obviously I don't want to be a hermit. I've been on the hunt for good plugs that make it so I don't have to be anxious about being triggered in public. I've been blasting music in my ears for years in an attempt to overcome this, which has predictably led to tinnitus and slight hearing loss. I kept finding expensive plugs and I don't want to gamble $200 on plugs that might not work for me so I'd rather do ones like what you had recommended. I will check these out :) Also your snake is cool

[@insertcreativenamehere5929]

Don't normally report back but got the Happy Ears discovery pack. Turns out my noise receptacles are too big so they didn't block noise but in less than an hour, they approved my refund. Worth a try and not out of pocket so good customer service. Never knew I was so deformed but may explain why I never had as much luck with foam protection as the average person on site. One day I might find a suitable in ear. Maybe that is also why I loked my Samsung Beanz compared to in ears. I'm a freak.

@@_monti142 for a big part I have no Idea. Always had weak/weird eardrums (my right apparently used to look similar to a deflated balloon). For years my left eardrum had a hole in it which they tried to plug up. 7 years ago they made a new eardrum for my left ear. (Its called tempanoplastiek in dutch or smth) Then 2 years ago a joke went wrong and I got hit on my right ear, in such a way the air pressure ripped the eardrum in 2. Last year I had a rly long surgery to get that replaced too. Luckily it should all be fine now, it sounds way worse than it is haha!

Pretty good information. I used to have noisy neighbours. None of the earplugs I had were terribly comfortable if I slept on my side. Fortunately, I found that my pillow did a good job, so I just popped the plug into the opposite ear. I always found that they weren't in my ears anymore, later in the night, but by then the neighbours had usually quieted down.

So, with the Christmas trees....

I never knew what they were actually for until now because I never bothered to check the manual (I got them with some pairs of crappy earphones at my local gas station). The thing is though, the little hollow rubber in the middle of it all fitted perfectly around the earphone!!

Most painful thing I think I've ever experienced... I genuinely couldn't walk straight for a day because it messed my balance up so much, I have permanent tinnitus in my left ear and it's like super sensitive to loud noises because of the scar tissue. So yeah... Be careful when shoving things in your ear canals AND when taking them back out, kids.
