Hearos Xtreme Protection, 14-Pair Foam Review

Holy Bovine!!! Life is better now…,

I must use earplugs (always in sleep and in extreme areas) as noise now gives me a headache (stress?). These, I can tell you as a professional amateur, are the finest available PERIOD. Squishy, comfy and DEADLY quiet. BEWARE!!! as all foam earplugs LOOK the same, orange or pale and foamy. They are NOT the same, stick with ‘Hearos’ (I have done the tests over twenty five years of use) and change them when they lose ‘spongy-gooey’ quality (for both comfort and performance). BUY and your life will be higher quality (use in the plane and in really noisey spaces! 

 They do the trick!,

Over the years I’ve become a light sleeper. When I moved onto the street level of a busy street, I went for days without it, distracted from unconsciousness by the roar of cars and trucks breaking and honking at the nearby traffic light. I finally dragged my weary self to the nearest pharmacy and purchased my first package of ear plugs. Four well-rested years later, I’ve experimented with brands and sizes and conclude that these are the ones for me!

blissful silence…,

I live in Uganda, in east Africa. Zoning laws? Say WHAT? You can find an all-night bar opening just down the road from your home (yes, there’s one just 4 houses down). It’s a rare hotel that’s quiet–and I travel a lot. Thin walls, noisy bar, trucks, cars, call to prayer at 5 am, and motorcycles zipping past at all hours. Hotel life used to be, to put it mildly, quite annoying.

Ah, that was before my little blue Hearos. I would pay the price of a full pack for a single pair. There are other earplugs out there, but none like Hearos X-treme. Very soft and comfy. They roll up small and expand slowly, so you have plenty of time to get them in your ears. In the 30 seconds that they take to expand, sounds fade, then disappear altogether. I’m enveloped in a cocoon of blissful silence. Just knowing all of that noise is out there and can’t touch me makes me sleep all the better.

Some other nice features…if you are cheap like me or don’t want to re-order, you can wash them in rubbing alcohol or methylated spirits, squeeze them out in a dry washcloth, and they’re as good as new after a few hours to dry out. I’ve yet to wear out a pair.

Have tiny ears? So does my wife. We just got some good scissors and pruned them down to size for her. And, they won’t tear. I’ve put some other earplugs a bit deep in my ear, and when grabbing a corner to pull them out, they would break off. Not the Hearos Xtremes.

On the downside–no earplug can stop an ultra-low, ultra-loud sub-woofer. Thankfully, the one from the bar down the road booms, but not excessively at those frequencies. But I have had the experience coming from a hotel bar–and at that point the only thing to do is ask them politely to turn it down.

This is one of the cheapest ways to dramatically improve your life if you live or travel to noisy places, or live in one. I keep a pair permanently in my travel bag, and another on my bedside table. Sweet dreams!
