You\u2019ll want earplugs that fit snugly in your ear to effectively snuff out sounds, but not so tightly that they\u2019re uncomfortable to wear overnight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline text-h5 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-earplugs-sleeping\/\" current-title=\"The 6 Best Earplugs Audiologists Recommend for a Quiet Night\u2019s Sleep\" current-image=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/best-earplugs-for-sleeping_418x278_true_70.webp\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-07-31\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-earplugs-sleeping\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-earplugs-sleeping\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-earplugs-sleeping\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Dr. Reisman and Dr. Sarow both point to foam as a soft material that is not only comfortable enough for overnight wear, but also expands and adjusts to fit a variety of ear canal sizes. They\u2019re relatively low-cost, too. That said, most foam earplugs have a short lifespan of usefulness. Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/standardinterpretations\/2000-10-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/standardinterpretations\/2000-10-02\">OSHA guidelines<\/a>, you\u2019ll want to replace them, with daily use, every one or two days, as the material\u2019s porous structure can breed bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>Silicone earplugs tend to last longer than foam, but, according to Dr. Reisman, they can be less comfortable than their counterparts. However, choosing ones made from soft silicone or silicone putty can mitigate the issue. Silicone putty also has the added benefit of offering wearers an ideal fit as it has a similar malleability to wax (another material recommended by Dr<em>. <\/em>Sarow), allowing you to mold it into a shape that fits your ear canal. However, its stickier consistency can attract dust and dirt.<\/p>\n<p>While comfort is subjective, the sleep earplugs we recommend on this list can serve as a starting point. The featured picks have been vetted by Dr. Reisman and Dr. Sarow who can attest to their wearability for sleep. Just know that there are no over-the-counter earplugs that are best for everybody, and you may want to try several for yourself to find your perfect pair.<\/p>\n<h3>Noise reduction<\/h3>\n<p>To further narrow down your choices, also consider an earplugs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.listentech.com\/understanding-noise-reduction-ratings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.listentech.com\/understanding-noise-reduction-ratings\/\">noise reduction rating<\/a> (NRR), which indicates in decibels, or dB, how much noise you can expect a given pair to block out. The higher the rating, the more the noise reduction. \u201cUsually, you want about a 25-decibel reduction, but that might be more or less depending on the person\u2019s situation,\u201d says Dr. Sarow.<\/p>\n<p>While earplugs with a higher NRR might seem like the best option, more doesn\u2019t necessarily mean better. \u201cSomeone might want to pick earplugs with a lower noise reduction, especially if they have hearing loss or it\u2019s hindering their sense of awareness,\u201d says Dr. Reisman. You might also want earplugs with a lower NRR if, for example, you want to stay alert to a baby\u2019s cries or in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n<h3>Other factors to consider<\/h3>\n<p>Note that earplugs aren&#8217;t for everyone. According to Dr. Sarow, people with bacterial ear infections or perforated eardrums might want to avoid using sleeping earplugs. Dr. Reisman adds that people who have wax impaction or are prone to excess wax buildup will want to steer clear, too. \u201cWearing earplugs might end up clogging the ear and you may potentially have to see a hearing healthcare professional to have [the wax] removed,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>And whether or not you plan to use earplugs, you may want to try other strategies to minimize nocturnal noises. \u201cOutside of earplugs, maybe think about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/white-noise-sleep\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/white-noise-sleep\/\">white noise<\/a> to mask distractions,\u201d says Dr. Sarow.<\/p>\n<h2>Shop the best earplugs for sleeping<\/h2>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Best+for+blocking+out+the+most+noise%3A+Flare%2C+Sleeep+Pro\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flareaudio.com\/en-us\/products\/sleeep-pro\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.flareaudio.com\/en-us\/products\/sleeep-pro\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Flare-Sleeep-Pro_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"Flare Sleeep Pro\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flareaudio.com\/en-us\/products\/sleeep-pro\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Best+for+blocking+out+the+most+noise%3A+Flare%2C+Sleeep+Pro\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.flareaudio.com\/en-us\/products\/sleeep-pro\"> <\/p>\n<p>Best for blocking out the most noise: Flare, Sleeep Pro \u2014 $48.00<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p><b>Originally $60, now $48<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an NRR of 32 dB, the Flare Sleeep Pro promises to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drown out<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most noise (snoring bedmates included) on this list\u2014and Dr. Sarow attests to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the noise-reducing capabilities of these earplugs. \u201cThey do a good job of attenuating sound,\u201d she says, adding: \u201cThey\u2019re comfortable in the ear because of the soft foam tip.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those soft tips are made from<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memory foam to create a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">squishy barrier<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">between your<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ears and the sounds of the outside world.
