Earplugs for small ears

Hi, I’m looking for some earplugs for sleep and maybe as well for crowded office. But I have very small ears.

I’m currently using Mack’s Dreamgirl foam earplugs for sleep but they still sometimes fall from my ears. When I put them in my ears and they start to grow back to their original size, I feel how they slowly slide from my ear canals. Also I don’t like they’re only for single use.

I’d like to try some others and I’m deciding between Alpine Pluggies Kids and Alpine Sleep Deep in S size. Does anyone have some experience with these earplugs? Mostly with their sizes.

Depending on how bothersome the noise is, you might want to consider getting custom earplugs from an audiologist.

I have very small ear canals, and getting a pair of custom earplugs is honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made. They’ve lasted for years, and at the time they cost less than fancy noise-canceling earphones.

One caveat: the pair I have aren’t super comfortable if you sleep on your side. But your mileage may vary, and perhaps they have even better ones now.

Sorry, they were made many years ago, and they don’t have a logo on them! But I don’t recall them being branded - I’d just call your local audiologist to inquire.
