    Those of us who love music and are sensitive to sound might sometimes be sensitive to noise and want to block it out. This makes sense to me anyway and is true in my case.

    I bought a few different kinds of ear plugs and through trial and error found ones that work for me and that I'd like to recommend.

    Temu | Explore the Latest Clothing, Beauty, Home, Jewelry & More https://share.google/DLXM7f13BdSS8KCMw

    I don't shop at Temu. I think their aggressive spinning wheel/ win a free $100 shopping spree pop ups are annoying. YMMV.

    But this is the brand and the product. The jar of foam pieces were too big for my ears and had to be thrown away. It's the rubber ones in their own little plastic that I recommend. I don't know if there's a way to buy this type of ear plugs without having to pay for the "one size fits most" jar of foam pieces but my guess would be yes.

    As you can see, these are soft plastic. They have a "handle" on each one, so you can only wear one in your ear that's not on a pillow if you're sleeping on your side or you can wear both at any time.

    They are easy to adjust to fit, easy to remove, work to knock the sound level down 30+ decibels iirc, and are washable and can be used almost forever as far as I can tell.

    It's take me at least six months to find these and I like having them. I keep them in their little plastic box.

    They come in handy when you don't want to hear urban noise, or hypothetically, it you have a lout of a roommate who does street drugs, invites overnight guests for sleep overs, and doesn't sleep. Just sayin.

    5 stars even if you have to pay a premium for a jar of disposable foam ear plugs that might or not work for you.

    I like it when inexpensive items end up being this useful.

    The brand is LYSIAN. You can buy them anywhere.

      Many piano techs regularly use ear protection so "what's the best" question comes up pretty often. I've always said that "the ones you will wear" is the best option. Meaning easy and comfortable while getting the job done. Congrats on finding something that works for you!
