Dear Denee:
On the contrary: VASTLY DIFFERENT from other ear plugs!!!
Denee, It is about inserting the ear plug CORRECTLY!
It is obvious that you are not inserting the ear plug (firmly) enough to allow it to (seal) your ear canal.
That is why it is not blocking out and that is why it is falling out of your ear.
Denee, once the ear plug is SEALED FIRMLY in the ear canal, it cannot fall out because the Lanolin makes the ear plug tacky to stay securely in the ear canal.
Denee, if this ultra-high blocking moldable ear plug doesn't totally (SEAL) and stay securely in your ear canal, then it will not block out enough sound!
PLEASE follow the below instructions EXACTLY!
1. Just as you are about to insert, take ONE ear plug and {work it or knead it} thoroughly between your fingers or hands for at least 15 seconds to make it soft, moldable and to disburse the Pure Lanolin throughout the ear plug. Pure Lanolin makes the ear plug slightly “tacky” so that it stays securely in the ear canal and seals it. When the ear plug is soft and moldable and ready to insert, it doesn’t matter what shape it is; round, flat , long or narrow; just follow the next step.
2. Using the tip of your index finger, push the ear plug FIRMLY, & FLATTEN it, (IN and AGAINST) your ear canal (until you feel a GOOD SEAL)..
IMPORTANT: If it doesn’t seal immediately, then hold your finger pressed against the ear plug (with slight pressure) for a few more seconds and it will seal well.
3. Now take the other ear plug, prepare it the same way & insert it into the other ear. With both ear plugs inserted correctly & sealing the ear canals; now listen; you’ll hear very little or most likely no sound at all. It even gets better each time you wear them.
4. To Remove: Simply pinch the ear plug with your thumb & index finger and gently pull downward and out.
Denee, we are with you all the way until you get this inserting just right and the ear plug is blocking out all the sound you want. Please feel free to call our office, for we will be happy to walk you through (inserting) the ear plug while on the phone. The number to call is 1-800-226-1884.
Denee, I too have been wearing this same ear plug for the past 12 years for the same reason, and it works wonderfully, but it took me a few nights to get the insertion just right, and then every night after that got better and better at blocking out.
Now, I don't even hear him at all!!!!
Most sincerely
