I know what you mean, I had same experience. The noise (ball thud) is actually more prominent as all other noise blocked out EXCEPT the basketball! Grrrrr....

i recently tried using the second type of earplug shown in this video. after rolling the plug into a thin form, the person that was teaching me how to insert them told me to "insert it in my ear canal and then push AS HARD AS I CAN for about a minute." DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. pushing AS HARD AS I CAN removed ALL the air from my ear canal, and as soon as i removed my finger from the plug, the resulting expansion created negative pressure on my ear drum and my ear drum ruptured (in other words, my eardrum got "sucked" outwards" and made an extremely painful pop). i've had severe hearing loss in my left ear for the last 2 weeks. i thought it would come back but it's still the same and i'm worried that the damage caused is irreversible. so, learn from my mistake people. only need to apply a bit of pressure when holding the plug to your ear after inserting.

Absolutely wonderful!!! The best lesson from the best Teacher. Enjoyed and appreciated it from the onset.

Neighbour has been harassing me with anti-social noise so just brought some plugs. Thanks for showing the correct way to insert, it was clear & concise.

This is SO cool... I tried it as you describe and I could HEAR your video sound volume decreasing as they expanded in my ear! Thank you so much! I always thought these plugs were useless, and it turns out I just wasn't inserting them correctly!

it is actually not possible to put them in too deep because the are only like half an inch and the ear canal is not straight and it bends.

Used a couple techniques here for my in ear monitor ear buds, worked like a charm. I'll listen on moderate volume for your sake though, doc.

I was interested to know if there are any significant difference in the different brands of foam ear plugs? I see some marketed as "mute and noise canceling" but I don't know if there is any significant difference between them and the cheaper ones.

I tried both of these when I was working in factories Did exactly what you explain. My ear canal swell up close in 2 days. I had to have custom ear molds the only one my skin could tolerate. :-)

this is the REAL way of putting it inside thank you dr.! I was doing it wrong but this really works

Excellent video. I use foam ear plugs all the time. Now realizing the need to get them inserted even farther down the ear canal.

I'm really surprised to see its safe to push the ear bud so far in. What if you can't get it out? Plus when I've had some in well, i can hear my heart beating, which is very off-putting. I found gel ones good, but as i noticed regular use saw them disintegrate, i stopped using them.

I go to music college and we never had a class or any info on hearing protection! I’d go on stage to sing each week no protection because I honestly didn’t know any better as a 20 year old. Being around drummers has taken a notch down of my hearing. Pretty sad cause it only took 2 years. Wish my college out of all places would have encouraged or at least mention to wear ear protection while on stage but not one mention. Lesson learnt and now I bring ear plugs everywhere I go

Thanks for doing this. I started working in a Manufacturing facility and I been stuffing it i and twisting it... instead of rolling them with the howard leight honeywell ear.

Hey Dr Cliff, just subscribed! Was wondering though today at work I did the roll with the howard leight earplugs and I think it was too thin and hit my ear drum? I didn't notice any blood, hearing loss, or pain after only when I think I touched it, I might have just touched a sensitive part of the ear canal and not the ear drum i'm not to sure, but since I did get a small sharp pain for 1 sec how likely is that to do damage to my eardrum or ear canal if it did hit it with the foam earplugs? Thanks if you end up replying, you have some really nice informative videos!

just an FYI, you aren't likely to get responses to questions like that. Doctors and other medical professionals don't want to incur medical liability by giving specific recommendations or referrals without consulting directly with a patient. Make an appointment with a hearing care professional if you have serious concerns or symptoms. Layman's assumption (I'm not a doctor), you probably rubbed or scraped a sensitive part of your ear canal. If you watch other videos in this genre, you will see otoscope views of redness, or even pimples likely from rubbing with q tips or other foreign bodies.

Pain is caused by increased ambient pressure without your eustachian tube properly regulating your middle ear space. Make sure you constantly pop your ears on ascent and descent. Chewing gum also helps to loosen the eustachian tube.

What if you do it correctly but don't put the full 3/4s inside the ear? Does it still provide some protection, for example would it provide, say, -20db instead of -30. I've been using different earplugs for years, sometimes foam, sometimes branded reusables. I mainly use them in bars and small venues with live music and playing live myself because I don't want my T to get worse. But with the foams I've sometimes not put them in all the way, but I did have noise reduction, as in I could hear that the sound was significantly reduced. In that case we're they providing protection?

Hi Doctor, I am from Mexicio, one question: I hope you understand: Use all days the foam hearin dont Hurt your ears? The material is good?

It's any chance to damage the eardrum using the plugs so deep? Thanks!

Doctor i want to ask if using these foam protection at night every day during sleeping, does it affect my health or the pressure in my head ?

Bought mine and finally not earing my eletric fan anymore when using my one earphone thanks a lot doc

So I am honestly not being too consistent hope you can help me out on this one doc. So I can get it right most of the times. I roll it down pull ear up and outwards put it in and its goes in and works. But sometimes I do same process but for some reason the plug won't go in as deep. I noticed on the times that it doesn't work, once I take out the earplugs it is bent on the tip, but whenever the plug expanded right there would not no bent and everything would be quiet. What am I doing wrong? Maybe wet the plug a little to help push it along? I use the howard leight lite green plugs.

My roommate is a complete nuisance, I can't even sleep because he keeps talking even at night. So I had to get these damn earplugs. Thanks for the guide. 👌

Sir I m living by very busy roads. Is it alright if I use the same pair all day and night like this for longer periods of times, would it be safe?

Is using earplugs like this every night likely to cause existing tinnitus to worsen, or is it just temporarily perceived louder while wearing the earplugs due to the absence of other noise? I've had tinnitus a few years and am just starting to wear earplugs for sleeping (noisy neighbours!) but I'm worried about making it worse. While using the earplugs I'm also playing just-about audible white noise in the background so I'm not in complete silence if that makes a difference?

Tinnitus perception is only increased while wearing the earplug, not after you pull them out. It will not permanently make your tinnitus louder. You may want to consider the Bose Sleepbuds instead: amzn.to/2KZhtpp
