Reply from Mighty Plugs: The World's Finest EarplugsJun 10, 2016
Dear Debby:
Your review is a (( first of its kind )) for us !!!
In 20 years and over 6 million customers, we hadn't ever received a " ear sweating" issue. I can guess that you might have a "fever', but only a guess.I honestly have no idea what had occurred for you: BUT I can reply to the issue of you "still hearing the traffic".
Debby, our ear plug is the HIGHEST BLOCKING ear plug made and it will (( EASILY )) block out the sound of traffic; when it is inserted CORRECTLY to where it is SEALING the ear canal.
If you want to really test their effectiveness at blocking out, then please follow the insertion instructions below and you'll hear nothing but SILENCE:
1. The very first time that the ear plugs are prepared for insertion, you take ONE ear plug at a time and (knead it or work it) thoroughly through your fingers or hands for at least 15 seconds to make it soft, moldable and to disburse the pure Lanolin throughout the ear plug.
2. Now that it is (soft & moldable), use the tip of your index finger and (push and flatten) the ear plug somewhat (firmly), IN & AGAINST your ear canal, until you feel a good SEAL. If it doesn't SEAL immediately, just keep your finger pressed against the ear plug for a few more seconds, and it will SEAL the ear canal, not protrude out from the ear and it will block out superbly.
3. Now take the other ear plug, prepare it the (same way) and insert it (exactly the same way) as the first ear plug. Now, listen to the SILENCE!!!
Most sincerely,
