Has anone tried these? I just ordered a pair. They could be a godsend if they work as advertised.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed; my guess is that they might help, but will be uncomfortable enough that it won't be worth it.

I haven't tried anything like that, but I would love to hear how they compare to foam earplugs.

Nope, but i have been thinking of getting them for almost a year! When you get them make sure to do a "review" or PM me about their quality and preformance!

greetings all,

please let us know how they work! i use foam ones... they block out most noise other then the trains that run at 4 in the morning and every half hour after!

with peace,

JanusOne :D

I too would love to kos if these work. They would be brilliant if they do! I have a lot of trouble with misophonia and these look like they cut out the extremes, while still allowing you to hear, which can be an issue with foam or silicone earplugs (I use silicone).

So I ordered them, and they aren't worth the cost. They do cut 'undesired' sounds a little more than wanted ones like speech, but they also muffle speech to some extent. Any noise-filtering system will do as well. They also only come with one size of earplug, and since I have fairly small ears that makes them a little uncomfortable; all-in-all, I'm going to stay with the foam earplugs that conform to my ear.

One caveat is that I didn't experience (to my hearing, anyway) any extremely loud noises while wearing these; it may be that they're better at muffling the really loud stuff while allowing speech than other types of earplugs.

I spin/cycle inside at a club.

The electronic music is too loud.
I've tried Walmart 32 ear plugs. Anyone have a no. Electronic suggestion?

I've always used foam. If you're at a club, I figure you won't be able to hear anyone anyway.

Aww, hell! This was such a promising idea!
To be honest I've considered wearing actual hearing aids, the ones that fill the entire ear cavity, and just turning them up or down. Could that be an option to achieve the same effect or better, do you think?

I really don't know much about hearing aids, except that they are **ridiculously** expensive.

I'm not sure if I was clear.

I was writing about a fitness center.
