Im autistic. I am hyper sensitive to noise and when my neighbors play music, talk loudly or celebrate holidays it is the end of the world for me. I've tried everything. I can not sleep with headphones..I've tried ear plugs..I buy these cheap ones here in Brazil...but it is just só hard to block out noise. I suffer so much. Why can't there be earplugs that mimic being deaf? That would be perfect

Very helpful thank u!!

This is AMAZING ❤❤❤ - I have really bad audio sensitive PTSD. For years I've been sleeping with a combination of ear plugs and over ear ANC headphones which cuts out almost everything but it's quite uncomfortable as I'm a side sleeper and it may be harming my neck so I'm going to try this set up with the specialised pillow.

This is me! Ear plugs plus bulky ANC headphones which are uncomfortable but my ptsd response to noises and even silence, bc I anticipate noise is unbearable. I am looking for better ear plugs because loop and my foam ones just arent good enough and fall out

Thank you so much for your generous, detailed descriptions. Very helpful and hope-sparking. I live in Boston with a loud boiler vent just across the alley. Looks like it might be just within the legal limit of 50 Decibels at night, which would mean I wouldn't have legal grounds to ask for a mute to be put on the vent. Haven't slept well since last December before the noise started and so far I haven't got the hang of Loops which fall out of my ears. I'm inspired by the two-holed pillow you showed us as well as the Howard Lie Max plugs and the

Sorry - I meant my last sentence in my comment above to read as follows: I'm inspired by the two-holed pillow as well as the Howard Leight Max plugs and the X5s.

Thank you for a very insightful video! I am also a very light sleeper and my husband snores. I was running out of ideas and things to try. I have ordered some ear defenders so fingers crossed they will work, I'm at my wits' end!

Thanks for the reviews. I find that one of the best ways to block out sound is just to put a finger in each ear. I wonder if it is the shape and structure of the fingers (and the connection to the rest of the body) that is superior to everything else? Of course you can not keep your arms in that position for long😟

I could really see myself there '10:22 Thank you so much for the content!

Thanks for the review. I enjoyed the info. P. S....the only thing that sounds worse than a leaf blower is upspeak.

The reason why the earmuffs worked is because they are rated higher at the 1000Hz frequency, which is actually where many leaf blowers are rated (not as low frequency as you thought). However it is still low enough to penetrate walls etc. So your graph is fairly correct in performance and would account for the results you found from the x5’s

3M 1100 are the best for me. I even cut 3 or 4mm off the base for comfort, since I sleep on my side, and I push them all the way in, so there's nothing hanging out. I used to be scare too, but I learned how to remove it using a little metal stick I have, it's like a nail without the point. I just slide it in by the side, and pick it out, you can do it with a bobby pin, it's very easy. A little clamp works too, but can damage the plug.

That can give you compacted ear wax and ruptured ear drum and ear infections. I stopped doing that when I started to frequently get ear pain and throbbing. Better imo to use brown / red noise (killed my sleep quality) and ear muffs should be better

Where can you buy that earmuff pillow

Best for snoring?

wait how , x5a are so uncomfortable , i feel so much pressure on my skull and nerves even after wearing them for an hour , how do you wear it the whole night , also a question im trying to block out talking and screaming noises , are x5a and x4a similar in that use case , cuz i was thinking of getting x4a instead of x5a , cuz of the discomfort.

hey, thanks for the review! curious if you still use the x5 Earmuffs?

The guys with the leaf blowers have stopped passing for a few months now, so I've retired my X5s until next fall, I wear reusable earplugs now to sleep, which provide enough isolation for the relatively low exterior city noises.

@@RawansReviews makes sense. I try to avoid plugs whenever I can since they all tend to push the earwax further into the ear. bought the X3. I read several reviews about the X5s that they are too small on the ears which leads to discomfort especially overnight. can you confirm this? the X3 are a bit more bigger on the inside. also the pressure on the head seems quite high, what do you think? thanks in advance.

@@wrkdat I definitely felt pressure and discomfort for several nights. But then either I got used to that, or the clamping force loosened a bit--so it was eventually fine for me. Of course, never got to a point where I could say the were _comfortable_, but I found the discomfort was minimal, and definitely miles better than waking up at that unearthly hour at the sound of those leaf blowers!

Actually my solution had been using the Bose Sleepbuds II (discontinued) and if extra sound isolation needed I paired it with my Sony xm4's noise cancelling. Got the same issue though, as I am a side sleeper. My temporary solution was to use a travel pillow (those you use for flights) and fit my ear in the middle😅. Not ideal, but for some specific scenarios it did work. Now, I did not know those kind of pillows you show on the video were a thing! Gotta look into that. Thanks for this video!

That pillow was indeed a good surprising find! It's a shame Bose discontinued their sleep buds line--maybe in the future, when the tech is there, we'd get ones that also have ANC from Bose...!

aw, I hate it that I'm so sound hypersensitive. It ruins my life :( Loops did nothing to me and the I've bought other earplugs but I can't use them because I need white (actually deep pink) sound to sleep. I saw your review about "soundcore by Anker Sleep A10 Bluetooth Sleep Earbuds". I'm thinking to try them besides the bad battery, but I couldn't understand (my english is not perfect) if I can use my own sound or I can only select from their libabry. I hope you found a solution!

Sometimes I just wish I had a "Mute" button in life.

Gosh - you shoulda suggested you were going to use full over the ear defenders instead of keeping folk waiting for what they thought were going to be your findings for the best earbud type ones, which most who need noise reduction when sleeping would be looking for. Feel like you've wasted part of my life. Won't be subscribing.

I provided a solution that works, after trying many that didn’t. My face with these earmuffs is prominently displayed in the thumbnail-there was no clickbait intended. But sorry to have wasted your time.
