Title: Affective, but potentially dangerous.
Product review: I used these guys as an alternative to the foam kind hoping to get something that would be more effective in blocking sound. That they were. The plugs did a great job blocking sound and are also a smart idea for blocking water in a pool when swimming, another reason I picked them up. While I wouldn't say that they can NEVER be worn safely, I would NOT suggest using them as a sleeping aid.I put them on the first night for the initial reason I purchased them; to block out the incessant barking coming from the next-door neighbor's full-sized standard poodle. The poodle did not wake me up that night. However the earplugs did, or rather the pain they were causing. The earplugs created a vacuum in my ear canal, causing a painful suction. This perpetuated an ear ache that lasted 2 full weeks. Whether it did irreparable harm to my hearing is yet to be seen but needless to say I won't be using them again.If you do buy them, please use them with care.
