Ear plugs

I use ear plugs when I sleep and I have been using 3M ear plugs but they are disposable.

I was thinking of getting silicone ones that can be reused. Has anyone got experience of using silicone ear plugs over extended periods and can comment on their longevity and their effectiveness? They need to be comfortable to sleep with.

If you could recommend non disposable ear plugs that you have had good experience with, that would be very helpful. Thanks.

i find that i can't sleep without them as they don't block all the noise out but they dampen them so I don't get woken up all the time as I am a light sleeper.

I use silicon ear plugs, they’re not total sound proof but do a good job at lessening noise

But not sure if they’re work any better than the silicon ones (edited)

I use Earsoft FX amazon.co.uk/10-…2Z8, but they are on the large size. While they are disposable, I keep them in a small plastic tub and they last a few days without issues.

I did think about going to a hearing centre and having some custom moulds made, places like Specsavers do it now. My mate said his were the dogs proverbials and was happy to have spent the £100 or so quid to get them made. I never got round to it, the Earsoft worked well for me.
