How to Insert Earplugs Correctly

Step 2 Pull
1

Roll and compress

Roll the foam earplug between your fingers into a tight, thin cylinder for maximum noise reduction.

2

Reach over your head

Use your opposite hand to pull your ear up and back to straighten the ear canal for optimal noise reduction earplug insertion.

3

Insert gently

Insert the rolled earplug into your ear canal while it is still compressed.

4

Hold in place

Hold the earplug in place for 10-15 seconds while it expands to fill your ear canal.

5

Check the seal

The earplug should feel snug and comfortable, with most of it inside the ear canal. Our top pick: Macks Snore Blockers NRR 32 — Australia's highest-rated foam earplug for sleeping. Also available: Macks Slim Fit for smaller ear canals and Macks Dreamgirl for women.

Full head silicone putty
1

Clean and dry your ears

Ensure your ears are completely dry before inserting silicone earplugs for swimming or sleeping.

2

Warm and shape

Roll the putty between your hands to warm and soften it into a ball.

3

Cover the ear opening

Flatten the ball slightly and press the mouldable earplugs over the ear opening, not into the canal.

4

Seal the edges

Gently press around the edges to create a watertight seal.

5

Avoid pushing too deep

Do not push the putty into the ear canal; it should sit over the opening only. Our top pick: Macks Pillow Soft Silicone Earplugs — waterproof, comfortable, and ideal for sleeping or swimming.

lady inserting party earplugs
1

Hold the stem

Grip the stem of the reusable earplug, not the flanges, for easy insertion and removal.

2

Pull your ear up and back

Use your opposite hand to pull your ear up and back to straighten the ear canal for washable earplugs.

3

Insert gently

Gently insert the earplug into the ear canal with a slight twisting motion.

4

Ensure a snug fit

The flanges should create a seal inside the ear canal without causing discomfort.

5

Adjust if needed

If the fit feels loose, remove and reinsert with a slight twist for a better seal. Our top pick: Alpine Sleep Deep — designed specifically for side sleepers and nightly use.

Good Fit vs Not a Good Fit

Good Fit

  • Comfortable and snug without pain
  • Significant noise reduction
  • Stays in place during sleep or movement
  • No pressure or discomfort after extended wear

Not a Good Fit

  • Earplug falls out easily
  • Minimal or no noise reduction
  • Pain, pressure, or irritation
  • Earplug sits outside the ear canal

Frequently Asked Questions

Roll the earplug tightly, pull your earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal, insert with a slight twisting motion, and hold for 10–15 seconds while the foam expands. A proper seal is flush with the ear canal entrance — not protruding.
No — earplugs reduce noise but don't eliminate it entirely. The body absorbs sound through the skull as well as the ears, so complete silence isn't possible with passive earplugs. High NRR earplugs like Macks Snore Blockers (NRR 32) provide the highest practical level of passive noise reduction.
Foam earplugs insert into the ear canal and offer higher noise reduction ratings (NRR 29–33). Silicone earplugs mould over the ear canal opening — they're more comfortable for some people and fully waterproof, but typically offer lower noise reduction. For sleeping, foam is usually more effective; for swimming, silicone is the better choice.
Soft foam earplugs with a high NRR are the most effective for blocking snoring. Macks Snore Blockers (NRR 32) are our top recommendation. For a reusable option, Alpine Sleep Deep is designed specifically for maximum noise blocking during sleep.
Hold the earplug in place for at least 10–15 seconds. Letting go too early is the most common reason earplugs don't seal properly. The foam needs time to expand and fill the contours of your ear canal.
