Loop Engage 2 Plus Earplugs – Everyday Noise Relief with Clear Speech for Social Gatherings, Work, Conversation, Parenting & Noise Sensitivity – 16 dB Noise Reduction + Mute for Extra Coverage, Rose

I have sensitive hearing, and in the past I've used earplugs that I found uncomfortable and that didn't fit me at all. I'd given up on finding something that worked for me, when a friend told me about Loop. I did a LOT of research online, these earplugs are not cheap throw-aways. Eventually I took the plunge.I was happy to see that there were different sizes (I have small ear passages), and I specifically chose the type of Loop that is designed for different sound levels. The earplugs arrived promptly, very well (and attractively) packaged. I carefully put one in, a twist to get it settled and I was very happy how well it fit. With both in I was astonished how much the sound around me was muted. I tried them with the insert on and it worked as promised, muting the sound even more.I like that the earplug sits pretty flush to the ear, I've napped with them on and had no issues with comfort even though I sleep on my side. Removing the earplug is very easy, just another slight twist and a pull.I like the little case that comes with them, it holds the earplugs securely and so far hasn't opened accidentally. I wouldn't feel comfortable attaching the case to my keyring or exterior of any handbag, though. That could just be me.I've used the earplugs at the theatre, babysitting my friend's toddler who is cute but loud, in the grocery store, in planes, at coffee shops. I'm really happy that I can select how much volume I want muted, from almost complete silence to dulling loud noises. They're comfortable enough to wear for long stretches of time and easy to remove in a second if I need to talk to someone.Some people complained that the earplugs made their breathing very noticable. It's true, and the sudden shock lack of external noise seems to highlight it. I was super motivated to push through it because I really suffer without earplugs, but I also thought the breathing noises were natural and easy to ignore. A few hours in I didn't notice them at all and on subsequent days I felt it was negligible.I'd also like to mention that the earplugs are pretty discreet. I have clear ones, and even with the black mute ring attached they are unnoticeable. There are plenty of vibrant colors if you want to accessorize with the earplugs, and their interesting design make them look fun.I wish I'd had these earplugs years ago. They reduced my stress levels a lot.

For people who say these don't work, I'd recommend going to the Loop website and looking at the different features of each style of Loop. These are specifically designed to fade out the sound (moreso if you use the white mutes inside the plugs) and make it sound more distant. The Engages are not the ones you would want for sleeping or if you wanted complete silence.The thing I like the best about them is, unlike other ear plugs, I don't have to listen to my own voice echoing in my head because I find the feedback loop distracting. I work in an office with a very loud coworker and these mute him just enough that I don't have to listen to his conversations and can focus on my work but I can have a conversation with someone just fine.These fit very well in my ear and offer a lot of options for tips. They are undetectable in my ears, and I can keep them in for a full 8 hours at work with no problems.The carrying case is very small, maybe the size of a half dollar so easy to carry but also easy to lose. I wouldn't feel comfortable using the carrying loop to hook to my bag or anything because I'm not sure how sturdy it is.Are these overpriced? Maybe, but I they are exactly what I was looking for.

Easy to use. I got these for when I’m in class. There’s 2 types of ear tips in the package and I thought it was very considerate. The design is elegant and sleek. The sound quality was good too. As I mentioned, being in class I was able to hear my teacher well and block out the excess noise in the classroom. You are able to customize your Loop’s with the ear tips provided. They are comfortable to wear as well! One thing is, I wish the case was bigger. It’s very easy to misplace/forget about if you are like me.

They are pretty comfortable and I like the case. I can wear them to bed easier than earbuds. The foam tips combined with the mutes provide good noise suppression overall. Wearing with regular tips in public/social situations without mutes is doable and can be helpful.One issue I’ve had is irritation in one of my ears. One of them started bleeding a bit and was sore. Now I have bad tinnitus and I didn’t have it before! I’m hoping this is just temporary or because of irritation or built up wax. I also think these are too expenses, and I’m willing to bet the knock-offs are just as good.Keep your expectations reasonable. It’s not going to cure your ADHD/Autism or make your life completely different. They are just a useful and nifty tool to have when you are overwhelmed by noise.

I have a hard time hearing with a lot of background noise, like in restaurants and stores. My daughter suggested these and I am so glad I got them. They work really well, almost amazing night and day difference. I also enjoy them for sleeping to drown out any outside noises that are around, like someone snoring next to me and my dog whining! They fit well. I got lanyards with magnets for them. Afraid of losing otherwise. The carrying case would be fine if I didn’t. I like the different sizes included, plus another gadget that you insert into the loop to lower another 5 decibels. I love using them on airplanes the most. Very happy with purchase.

I got these to help with noise sensitivity after a TBI. These work so well. They fit in my pocket, on my key chains, and most importantly hide in my ear and out of sight. The clear is best if you don’t want people to notice. I have no idea the science behind silencing the annoying noises, taking the edge off of high pitch screams, all while being able to hear the music, sounds or conversations that I want to hear! Love the color, love the quality, love this product!
