Ear plugs - what would you recommend?

Hope

I am thinking about taking the plunge and buying some quality ear plugs. What ear plugs would you recommend for sleeping? Ear plugs seem to be the only solution for blocking out unwanted night time noise at my flat, which is by a busy road.

What are your experiences of using ear plugs? Do they help you?

    I use them sometimes and just can't get used to them. I prefer something that goes over the ear - not practical for sleeping. The thing with foam ear plugs is that you have to insert quite deeply for them to work well. The wax ones don't go in so deep I believe. I find that ear plugs feel odd, fall out and arn't 100%.

    I own some ear defenders  that I use in the day if I need them.

    I own some headphones that cut background noise. (you can get them cheaper than the link.

    These are cheap with nice bass and relatively comfy. They cut out background noise well compared to many other similar more expensive products. be careful where you buy them though because there are ALOT of fakes. You have to put them in your ears but if you don't mind and also want to use music to mask also then I would recommend these. They would be less intrusive then the headphones for sleeping in.

    For straight earplugs I would check out the recomendations on amazon and search google. I have tried a few and find most of the foam ones similar. My current ones are Quies.

    I am reading a book at the moment relating to sensory issues. Interesting.
