These earplugs are the most comfortable I have worn. They did not block the snoring of the person sharing the room well enough for me to fall asleep. Compared to foam earplugs they do block more sound.

I waited 3 weeks. Much longer than previous orders. I sent two emails requesting delivery info and got no replies. My credit card was charged in two days yet I waited 3 weeks. Love the product. Unhappy with service this time.

Dear LW: Our sincerest apology on the arrival time. We ship out all orders within 24 hours of receiving them, but for the past month the International orders going into Canada through Ontario have been delayed by the Canadian customs dept. for 2 weeks before they released the shipment to Canada Post. We are searching for an alternative. We sincerely hope that our ultra-high blocking ear plug was worth the long wait. Most sincerely Mary-customer service
They work with blocking the outside noise but it does not help the noise from my sometime snoring husband. They are comfortabl than most ear plugs but I wish I could just block out all the snoring and get a good night sleep!

I'm one of those people who has a very small window of opportunity to go to sleep and I'm also a light sleeper. Because of that I went shopping around online to find what were the most comfortable and highest rated (highest decibel blocking) ear plugs. My usual ones are those yellow polyurethane cylindrical foam plugs that you can buy at any pharmacy. So it took a while to receive these earplugs (no fault of the seller) and received them in a yellow parcel only to find that the layer of bubble wrap that lines the interior all popped. The hinge on the perspex box was cracked. The product itself requires a quick knead (20-30seconds) and then you basically insert (look for Mary's instruction around the internet). They are comfortable and the seal feels nice (and not heavy). However even after a few extra moments of pinching, pushing in, etc to get a complete seal I could still hear things (albeit faintly) that my normal foam plugs blocked out. I've tried applying it and gave it a go every night over a week after receiving the product and then comparing it with my foam plugs. The reality is, for me at least (everyone's ear shape, canal etc are different), that the standard foam plugs work better (despite me taking them off sometimes due to discomfort). I would say that I could use these ones at certain times, but at best to muffle ambient noise. Another common downside that I experienced was the blue tinge of my pillow and my fingers felt tacky (even after washing them in dishwasher detergent after application) from the Lanolin. Furthermore, the product is advertise as the worlds finest ear plug, which suggests they are the best at blocking. But caveat emptor! There is so scientific backing or evidence to suggest that they are. It is quite unfortunate, but I give the company top points for responding quickly to my emails. A thank you to Mary in particular who was quick to respond to my questions. It must be a good business though seeing the increasing number of elderly people in Australia, US, etc who will come to rely and purchase these sorts of things. And it might just work for them. Please note: my 3/5 stars were a compromise between my experiences with the company (e.g. communication) which I give 5/5. But the product itself did not do its job as advertised, so I give the product a 2/5.

The earplugs didn't work any better than the cheap Stanley brand foam ones I get from my local Menards store. Also, they are a little difficult and scary to remove. It seems as though it will break apart and stay in my ear. The dark blue putty texture is also weird.I hoped they would work better. Worlds finest is really a stretch.
By Debra L.
Sorry. But, honestly, the earplugs to block out sound were no better than the foam ones I use, and they were more of a hassle to roll and try to press/seal in my ears.
By Jeanne

Dear Milton: Our fine ultra-high blocking ear plug will block out much more sound than ear muffs. Just as you are about to insert them, be sure to knead them through your fingers or hands for at least 15 seconds to make them soft and moldable; then simply push slightly firmly and against the ear opening until you feel a good seal. Once sealing both ears, you'll be amazed at the amount of sound being blocked out. Sincerely Mary-customer service
