Dear Nora: Thank you for appreciating our fine ear plug, and our sincerest apology on the long delivery time. Tho your situation was unusual, with average delivery time of about 4-5 days, we are in the process of shifting from the USPS to the courier UPS. It will even get better. Kindest regards Mary-customer service

Thank you Isabelle: We distribute them directly to the customer to intentionally keep the price down. When you take into consideration that each pair can be worn from 30-40 times and more, it makes this highly efficient ear plug the (best value for the money) over any other ear plug in the world.

Dear Dennis: You did find the answer and this is the HIGHEST BLOCKING (most sound suppressing) ear plug in existence, but to experience the superior performance, one must follow these preparation and insertion directions below, (exactly) and you will realize why all the testimonials on our website page are true and accurate. 1. Just as you are about to insert, take ONE ear plug and {work it or knead it} thoroughly between your fingers or hands for at least 20 seconds to make it soft, moldable and to disburse the Pure Lanolin throughout the ear plug. Pure Lanolin makes the ear plug slightly “tacky” so that it stays securely in the ear canal and seals it. When the ear plug is soft and moldable and ready to insert, it doesn't matter what shape it is; round, flat, long or narrow; just follow the next step. If you are going to pinch off to make a smaller ear plug, then now is the time. 2. Using the tip of your index finger, push FIRMLY & FLATTEN the ear plug IN and AGAINST your ear canal (until you feel a GOOD SEAL!) If it doesn't seal immediately, then hold your finger pressed against the ear plug (with slight pressure) for a few more seconds and it will seal well. 3. Now take the other ear plug, prepare it the same way & insert it into the other ear. With both ear plugs inserted correctly & sealing the ear canals, you will notice a big improvement. 4. To Remove: Simply pinch the ear plug with your thumb & index finger and gently pull downward and out. Dennis, our military wears our ear plug when firing loud firearms and they often combine the ear plugs and insert 1 & 1/2 ear plugs in each ear.IT DOES THE JOB! Please give this fine moldable ear plug, “Another Test”. Most sincerely Mary- customer service
