I'd like to use earplugs to protect my hearing while blowdrying my hair. Do you think the frequency of a hairdryer could be blocked by these plugs?

Absolutely! These earplugs not only protect your hearing, they enhance music as well. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Possibly, but I've only worn them while enjoying live (loud) music, and it doesn't muffle out the music, it just brings the sound level down a few decibles - enough to enjoy the music without damaging your hearing. I usually use Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear Plugs when I want drown out loud noises.

Very, especially with the foam plugs. Even if you don't have anything playing they block out a good amount of noise, and when you DO have any audio coming through them, it all but blocks everything out.

Yes you can use them, and be able to hear as long as they speak up. You do not need ear plugs with the earmuffs.

I have read that its okay to use ear plugs with tubes in your ears. However, just to be sure check with your doctor. I predict the answer will be yes.

Yes, the ear plugs are necessary if you are trying to prevent water in your ears. THe band simply keeps the earplugs from falling it. The Mack's pillow soft silicone ear plugs are not as bad as other earplugs--they conform to your ear shape, instead of the other way 'round. I agree with you, though, wouldn't it be great if the band were waterproof and would form a sort of "suction" OVER your ear, instead of IN your ear, to keep water out. Why don't you invent that?! Good luck to you. Donna

I would definitely not recommend these plugs for sleeping. These are more or less for working and do protrude from the sides because they are equipped with a handy cord that keeps both plugs from getting lost. For you I would suggest the foam type plugs that you roll between your fingers, then insert into your ears. They eliminate both of your issues.

I am using them to muffle/block the sounds of heavy equipment but not at a firing range, so I cannot reasonably answer your question. Yes, you will be able to hear someone talking to you so you may need ear plugs, too.

This will help reduce the sound further especially if you plan to use it in conjunction with earplugs. I use custom molded earplugs plus these muffs. It reduces the amount of sound significantly. I used to only wear the plugs but now I use both. Protect your hearing with these (and plugs)....you'll appreciate it in the long run.

I would think not since they have holes in them. :-P These are tips to attach to earphones (like for listening to music), not earplugs.

Yes, I can understand totally of not using earplugs. It has speakers. I am so grateful because I have been always using plugs with my older iPod.

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job

No, they will not reduce the sound enough. The foam earplugs will protect your ears and muffle the sound much better than these.

I can't. But if you can wear it very loose I guess you might be able to. I wear earplugs when I mow or blow or weedeat

They will muffle the sound without ear plugs well, playing music will drown out everything around you. No earplugs needed.

Honestly the amount of force required to push these far enough in to do any damage...the ear plug would be the least of your worries. I mean, sure, if someone hit you in the ear full bore with a baseball bat, it might lodge partway into your outer ear canal...but at that point I don't think you'd care.

These would definitely help. I have the Exact same problem with the dogs next to me. I wear these earplugs constantly, day and night. I still hear the dogs, but at least the noise is tolerable. I also have 'white noise', the constant drone of a fan in the bedroom, which helps mask the noise. Great 1-2 combination to help me sleep.
