Earplugs for sleep

Sometimes, all you need is peace, especially when trying to work or sleep with noisy neighbors. Noise-cancelling earplugs seem ideal but can't block all noise because sound travels through air and bones. Quality earplugs can reduce noise significantly. Filter earplugs are perfect for office use, while Alpine SleepDeep earplugs are great for sleeping next to a snoring partner.

Hearing protection ranges from foam earplugs to custom otoplastics. Foam earplugs are cheap but can irritate the ear and cause infections. Wax balls and silicon plugs also seal off the ear but are single-use. Universal earplugs with adjustable filters prevent a shut-off feeling. Custom otoplastics fit perfectly for long-term use. Earmuffs, attachable to helmets, are ideal for noisy environments but may cause irritation in warm weather. Earmuffs differ from headphones, which are mainly for listening to music.

The ears of babies and toddlers are vulnerable, developing significantly in their early years. Loud noises can cause permanent hearing damage. Research shows one in eight children suffers from this. Avoiding loud noise is best, but not always possible. Protect young ears with Alpine Muffy Baby earmuffs, reducing noise by 23 decibels. These earmuffs are adjustable, secure, and safe, including for MRI scans. Use them at noisy events, during DIY chores, or when siblings are loud. Designed in the Netherlands, they meet all EU safety requirements.
