AlpinePluggies Kids Ear Plugs for Small Ear Canals – Noise Cancelling Earplugs Age 5–12 – Multi-Purpose Ear Protection for Swimming, Travel, and Study – 25dB – Reusable Hypoallergenic Filter Earplugs

Oh man. These little things have been a game changer for our son in basketball! He is sensitive to sounds and the buzzer going off would have him covering his ears and running off the court. He couldn’t focus on the game because he was too busy watching the clock so he would know when the buzzer was going to go off. It was getting ridiculous until his coach suggested ear plugs. So I searched and searched for the right ones and came across these! They filter the noise just enough to take the sharpness away from the buzzer but not so much that he can’t hear his coach. They work great! Stay in his ears the whole game and he plays hard! The design is sort of like a screw so they stay in very well. Comfortable, my son never complains about how they feel. Just all around a very good product.

This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

This review is for Pluggies, the kid sized earplugs.I bought these for myself. I am a medium-sized adult woman who plays drums and has tinnitus and, apparently, very small ear canals.This is the first pair of earplugs that I've been able to actually get in my ears on the first or second try. The other earplugs I've tried - which include regular foam earplugs, foam earplugs supposedly for women, Earasers size XS, and several musician-specific earplugs for adults - require a lot of effort to stuff in, and even then, tend to fall out. These go in and stay in.The noise reduction level on these is good for my taste. They do not block as much noise as the foam earplugs (when I eventually get those in). For loud practices, I am happy, though the noise reduction might be too much for some settings.I'm giving these 4/5 because they are not completely comfortable. If I do not get them in properly, they can be a bit painful, and I'm not sure that they would be comfortable for long periods of time. Still! They go in my ears, and that's more than I can say for other earplugs.

My autistic 3.5 year old has severe sensory issues and cannot tolerate traditional over ear earphones or many other ear plug type items. She seriously needs the noise cancellation and I tried these as a last ditch effort. They are on the large side for a little child (they fit me, an adult with small ear canals; I use the XS things on the ends of my AirPods and these are comparable in size to that). They do advertise to be for 5 and up but still. They do work to muffle most noises that bother her and she can still play her iPad, watch TV, hear me talking and such with them in so that is a plus. She tolerates them for about 2-5 hours per day which is huge (I don’t really want her totally reliant on hearing protection to cope with sensory issues forever). But as a helper, these are pretty good. They do get oddly sticky (no its not ear wax) even after washing super thoroughly and do turn yellow like others have mentioned. And if your kiddo is anything like mine and throws junk randomly, these little dudes get pitched and one day they will be totally gone. I don’t know if my little one will tolerate a lanyard or some sort of cord on them but I might look for an option that has that just to try since these probably will get lost sadly.

UPDATE: Been using these for weeks with no issues, my right earplug came apart when trying to pull it out and became stuck in my ear. I was able to get it but will not be using these again after that. I was able to grab it with tweezers but that’s dangerous and I can’t imagine trying to do that with a kidbought these for myself, I’m 25 but have small ears. I am a super light sleeper and have been wearing foam earplugs for several years, but I slways end up wirh pain and sores because they’re all just way too big, even the ones marketed for small ears.These seem to be a great alternative to the foam. They don’t cause me sores and they fit really comfortably. I definitely hear more with these so it’s not quite as noise canceling as the foam earplugs so that sucks a bit, but it’s much better than not being able to wear them at all from sores. I have some trouble getting them positioned properly in my right ear to form a seal which wasn’t a problem with the foam since it conforms, but if I sleep on that side my pillow helps block some noise. I’ll probably get these again whenever I need replacements, it’s definitely going to save money over buying new foam ones all the time
