Dear Jan:
THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOU THINK !
First of all! All the reviews are authentic, honest and complete!
Jan, for our ear plug to work PERFECTLY, it must be (prepared and inserted) correctly.
Please, please follow the instructions below exactly, and afterwards you'll "sing us praise"!
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.
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.
Jan, your success with our ear plug is important to us. Please keep me informed afterwards for I too have been wearing this magnificent ear plug each evening for the past 12 years. One thing I know for sure.
IT WORKS!!!!!
Most sincerely
