Add a crying baby, engine hum, and air conditioning roar, and sleeping or concentrating becomes genuinely difficult. These reusable loop earplugs reduce ambient noise to a more manageable level, letting you sleep, focus, or simply decompress without completely cutting yourself off from your surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree silicone tip sizes (Small, Medium, Large) are included so you can find the fit that works for your ear canal. A compact transparent carry case keeps them clean and accessible in your bag. Available in Black, Pink, Green, Blue, and White.
