Reply from Mighty Plugs: The World's Finest EarplugsMar 31, 2015
Dear Jill:
Not only do they work well, but they'll work PERFECTLY to block out snoring; but only when they are inserted correctly and SEALING the ear canal.
Jill, I wear them too for the same reason, so please read the following instructions (exactly); and you'll be grateful for my help:
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 if at all or most likely no sound at all; and 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.
Jill, I'm with you all the way until it works perfectly for you, so e-mail or phone the office to let me know how your doing. The office phone is 1-800-226-1884 and the e-mail is: [email protected]
Most sincerely
