Extremely loud work environments demand the best possible hearing protection. These Maximum Foam Earplugs boast the highest Noise Reduction Rating (NRR 33) of any disposable earplugs on the market. So it's no surprise they are also the most used PE foam earplugs in the world.

The shape of Maximum Earplugs also helps to resist the tendency some earplugs have of backing out of the ear canal. The soil-resistant, closed-cell skin also promotes safety as it prevents dirt from building up and inhibits ear infections.
Features:
- NRR 33: Highest Noise Reduction Rating
- Most used PE Foam earplugs
- Bell shape matches inner ear contour

I absolutely love these earplugs -- they're definitely a lifesaver, but there are a few things to consider about these:
1. The noise reduction is great but not perfect. These are rated at about 33db, meaning that, if inserted properly, they should reduce any incoming noise by 33 decibels. Loud snoring at such close proximity can register well over 70 decibels, which, for a frame of reference, is the level of sound a vacuum cleaner makes. Do the math. any earplugs (not just these) don't eliminate all sound; they just reduce it. Wearing earplugs DOES make a huge difference, however.
2. Dare I say there's a learning curve to these earplugs? If you don't have experience wearing earplugs, then it might take several days of use to get comfortable inserting these into your ear. Not having the earplugs as far in as they should be can reduce their effectiveness and make the whole point of wearing earplugs pointless. Be warned, though: you ARE inserting a foreign object into your ear, so take caution when using these. shoving it in too far can damage your eardrum. I find that they work best when there's only a few millimeters sticking out (just enough to grab the earplug to remove it), seeing as the bell-shaped end is there to improve the seal. When removing these, make sure to also twist as you slowly remove the earplugs. This is because there is an airtight seal when they're all the way in and the seal needs to be broken gradually. I popped my ears a few times by making the mistake of pulling them straight out and too quickly.
3. From my experience, each pair's only good for one or two uses. I have naturally oily skin and waxy ears, so needless to say after sever hours of sleeping the earplugs tend to come out with a little...residue. I've found that the foam these are made of are also near-impossible to clean as well. I've also noticed that they never seem to be quite as effective after the first use, presumably from the foam be permanently misshapen from being in the ear for a prolonged period of time. At the time of writing this review, the current price of a box of 200 earplugs just over 20 dollars, so they come to about a dime a pair. At this price I'd rather have a fresh pair each night anyway.
All things considered, these earplugs are a great deal. have some very small shortcomings, which are inherent in basically any foam earplugs, so I suppose the point is irrelevant. I've still given this a five-star rating because for 20 bucks, I'm still using up earplugs from the box I bought last year, and sleeping soundly because of it. I'd recommend these to anyone in a heartbeat.
Hearos work well for me if I put them in backwards, with the fat end next to my eardrum, but they still don't work any better than the Howard Leights do and Hearos are almost three times as expensive. The Howard Leights block out sound as well or better than any other earplug I've tried, and I've tried at least five different brands before.
These earplugs work so well that I actually got depressed for the first couple of days I used them. It was so quiet that I started to think what a bummer it must be for someone to be hearing-impaired, and not be able to simply remove the earplugs and hear better the way I can. But I got over that and now I wear them as much as I can, and enjoy the quiet.
When someone is speaking to me with my ear plugs in, I have to be looking directly at them in order to understand what they're saying. The loud, diesel-engined public transit buses that pass by me now only give a little "whoosh". And I have to be more careful when crossing the street, to make sure there aren't speeding cars whipping around the curves waiting to clobber me. I usually can't hear them now until they are within sight, so I just quickly look both ways and then RUN across the street. Homeless guys ask me for change, and I just hear them mumble, point to my ears, and keep walking.
These earplugs, like all earplugs, are mostly designed to block out mid-range sounds such as voices. Really low-pitched sounds, which vibrate through the body, can't be blocked out very effectively. This is no reflection on the quality of the earplugs. Really high-pitched sounds, such as police sirens, also come through fairly clearly. This is good since I like to drive with my earplugs in and I don't have to worry about getting T-boned by a police car or fire truck.
I plan to use these earplugs as much as I can for the rest of my life, and these plugs are cheap enough for me to do that even if I break out a new pair every day. (They can be reused, but there is some risk of ear infection when they get dirty, and they tend to lose flexibility after just a few uses. Then they can't create as effective of a seal in the ear.)
The only downside I can see is if someone had really small ear canals, in which case the plugs would probably cause too much pressure within the ear canals. As I said before, I don't have to worry about that. But if you do have that problem, Mack's earplugs would probably work better since they are fairly skinny.
Another minor gripe is that the earplugs stick way out of my ears after I insert them, so at first they would get knocked out when I rolled my head while sleeping. I fixed this problem by simply cutting off the back 1/3 of the plug with a pair of scissors, so the ends of the plugs don't stick out past my ears. I can toss and turn all night, and the plugs stay sealed in my ears.
These plugs, to me, would be worth the money if they cost five times as much. I would pay the extra if I had to, but luckily I don't have to since the Howard Leights are bargain-priced. Each pair even comes in an individual bag, so I can give them to my friends to try without getting them dirty. I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone else's ear infection.
They are rated to cut sound to 32 decibels, which is the highest I can find but would like rated higher. You can still hear things enough for safety and being able to hear kids, alarm clock etc.
BIG CON: They cause irritation and sores in my ears after a couple of weeks using them nightly. So then I have to cut them thin or wear some I made from silicone, but they don't work as well. I plan to get some made at the ear 👂 Dr. So they will fit my ears properly.
These work very well though, and you can't beat the price. A box of these will last me a couple of years.
Top reviews from other countries
There was a period that I couldn't find these plugs on Amazon or anywhere due to supply chain issues.
I was getting very low and was forced to research other options. Believe me when I say I've tried MANY different brands/styles. I've tried plugs that are smaller (the yellow ones) thinking that they would be more comfortable as they sit more inside your ear canal. Through trial and error with many styles I've learned that in order to create sound deadening you need a plug that has a bit of thickness to it. When you roll it to fit in your canal, it must have enough material to then expand in your ear to create a seal. The flared end of this ear plug is the best style to create this needed seal. When I place these plugs in I feel the expansion of the ear plug and the ambient noise of the room disappearing.
Yep, there is no question that it is something that one will have to adapt to over time when using for sleeping - which is my exclusive use. You will have to learn how to adjust to how your ear feels when your head is on your pillow. This will not be overnight, you will need to push through to get used to the feeling. There is a particular technique to place the ear plugs in your ear, if you are unaware, YouTube a demo.
No shocker that these earplugs are not sexy . However at NR33, this Howard Leight MAX-1 ear plug is the highest NR available - this is the sole reason I continue to purchase this item. In saying this, there is no ear plug that will completely block sound. As these have industrial applications, blocking total sound becomes a safety concern.
Plugs are individually wrapped in pairs which make them easy to travel with. The package states they are meant for single use, but I extend usage to 2 nights usage per pair. Purchase a smaller quantity before you commit to the larger 200 pack in order to get used to the feeling of having them in your ear for sleeping.
