★★★★☆
I sleep next to a freight train! AND I have an actual train with tracks 50' from my pillow.
This could seriously have ended in divorce, but I thought I'd try ear plugs first. I have had to sleep with a fan on at night for decades, and it was an adjustment to not have that white noise in the background, but you do still hear it muffled with earplugs. I have terrible ear tubes, scarring for infections as a kid, and I knew earplugs would be uncomfortable. Flents were my first try... OWWIE! They are too square, the edges aren't rounded, and they just hurt. But they DID keep the noise out enough to sleep better in between waking up to the pain. Two weeks later, the pain wasn't worth it. Next I tried Mack's Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, the tan ones. Great fit on the right side, SOOOO much softer than Flents. But my left ear was in pain, so I tried Mack's purple SafeSound Slim fit earplugs.... aaahhhhhh, much better. Then I saw Mack's PINK Dreamgirl soft foam earplugs.... I've never been a girly girl, pink just isn't my color. I heard everything! They didn't work at all. So ideally, I have purple on the left, tan on the right and I don't hear either freight train (for the most part)! And I don't use the fan at night anymore!
