What Makes These Earplugs So Popular?

There are literally hundreds of choices when it comes to earplugs, but some earplugs seem to reign supreme: Alpine MusicSafe Pro, Macks Ultra SafeSound, Macks Pillow Soft Kids, Moldex Spark Plugs, Moldex Mellows, and Heartech Silent Ear. I thought I’d look these customer favourites over and determine why they are so popular!

Musician earplugs are highly popular these days with all the attention given to hearing damage that avid music lovers, rock stars and club employees were encountering without proper hearing protection. Alpine MusicSafe Pro earplugs are affordable music earplugs that allow you to choose the proper level of protection with three different attenuating filters: white for low level pub music, silver for music venues and gold for D.J.’s and others who are exposed to very loud music. I give these a top rating because they offer professional quality in protection, but at affordable rates for those of us who are not highly popular D.J.’s or rock stars! Continue reading

Sleeping Aids for Weight Loss?

Can sleeping earplugs help you lose weight? Well, that depends on whether you want to lose fat or muscle. Silly question, right? Of course we all want to lose fat and develop toned, defined muscles. According to a recent study, sleep deprivation may be responsible for increased lean body mass (muscle) loss during a weight loss diet.

The subjects in the study both ate healthy, low calorie diets to promote weight loss. Both groups (sleep deprived and well-rested) lost weight during the study, but the sleep deprived group lost mostly lean body mass with only 26% of their weight loss being fat. The well-rested group experienced a fat loss of 57%! Continue reading

Women’s Earplugs: Are You Taking Care of YOU?

Admittedly, there are times when I’d like to tune out some of my world, like when the kids are arguing or screaming, but I wouldn’t want this to become a permanent thing or I’d miss out on the laughter and ‘I love you’s’. We often consider everyone’s health but our own. Your hearing and women’s earplugs may be the last thing that worries you!

The fact is that hearing loss can occur at decibel levels that we are exposed to constantly. Continuous exposure to 85 decibels or more can cause permanent hearing loss or damage as seen in tinnitus (constant, painful, ringing in the ears). Continue reading

How Can Earplugs Improve My Health?

Have you been feeling a bit sluggish? Do you have frequent colds or infections? Have you been a little more irritable than normal or encountering mood swings? If you haven’t been sleeping well due to noise or other sleeping distractions, then you might be experiencing many health problems. Sleeping earplugs may be just what you need to improve your health now and for the future.

A while back, we moved to a different house and sleeping became very difficult for me. Our new neighbours and their barking dog who I swear, barked louder than any dog I’d ever heard, kept me up at night. My husband had started snoring again because he’d gained back some of the weight he lost. I thought I’d lose my mind! Continue reading
