excellent video, thanks for doing this. I think this should be easier to find from the EAR main site however.

@Hanhzie I don't know what plugs you purchased so it is difficult to say. It could be you have a very tiny or convoluted earcanal, or that you are still not properly following the instructions, or that the plug you purchased is too large or otherwise not suitable. If you are still having difficuty please contact me though the Ask the Expert link at the website indicated at the end of the video.

So i brought ear plugs today i tried to get them in but they won't work. I followed the instructions in the video as well. I rolled them to their smallest size and still the ear plug won't fully go into my ear. Are the ear plugs too big??

Please contact me thruough the Ask The Expert page on the E-A-R web site if you would like additional information.

You can put plugs in so they cause discomfort, but unlikely that you will cause damage to your ear. See EARLog 19 available on the same website as this video. Please contact Sweda re Sweda plugs. With any earcanal it is possible to have discomfort. Try different plugs. The E-A-R™ E-Z-Fit™ and Classic™ small (Amigo) would be good choices. Find with Google search. Earmuffs are not good for sleeping. However if you want to try them, check out Peltor Optime™ 95 or 98 Find with Google search.

I find when I push the plug in deeply the plug begins to hurt my ear. Can you put plugs in to deeply???? I'm using normal foam earplugs made by Sweda.

Could another reason for the pain in my ear be that my ear canal is to narrow. I'd like to buy your E_A_R_E_Z_Fit or classic small but I can't find your website. What is your URL???

Also could you recommend good ear muffs that wont come off when sleeping.

Thanks in advance,

 Tracy

Please read "Tips and Tools for fitting and using foam earplugs" and see p.6 under problems. The document is found on the Booklets page of the same web site where you found this video.

I don't stick them THAT far in I'm afraid I won't be able to take them out

[DoctorSynthetic]

Is it definitely safe to stick them so far into the ear? That looks kinda risky to me...

[ebergerearplug9]

You get it that far down the earcanal by carefully following all of the instructions in the video. However the insertion will not be that deep in ALL earcanals. Canals that are narrower, or in ears where the pinna/concha (that is the external part of the ear on the side of your head) is smaller, the plug may not go in as deeply or appear to be as well seated. For smaller earcanals we have the E-A-R E-Z-Fit and the Classic Small that may suit you better.
