Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs - 6 Pair

compared to gizmos and gadgets to reduce noise, this is a cheaper alternative and does just as well as those rated to keep out 40 decibel. it doesnt block out 100% of the noise, but neither did the pricier options. can break down into smaller pieces or combine into larger piece to use. reused a few times without issue.

I've been wearing these for a good twenty years. Not the same pair, of course, but this brand is the absolute best. While you can't wear them in aquatic environments, they're great for noise cancellation when you don't want to hear background music or chatter or machinery running. Initially I'd bought them to prevent losing sleep due to a loud-snoring %26 coughing dorm mate. But, they're so soft and comfortable, and they take down the loud noise to a more tolerable decibel, that I use them every single day, and not just when I sleep to now drown out my oscillating fan next to my bed. These are great %26 not too expensive for repurchasing every other month.
