The best way to block snoring noise is to use earbuds that reduce or block out the snoring noise while you sleep. Earbuds for sleeping should be designed to be comfortable while laying on a pillow and safe to use all night without Bluetooth connection. Look for earbuds that use passive noise canceling (simply having an earplug in your ear to quiet the noise). That can be combined with noise-masking devices (such as a sound machine that plays white noise or relaxing sounds) to soothe the brain and further mask any remaining noise.

Wearing earplugs for sleeping isn't harmful, but you should look for ones specifically designed for sleep comfort. You should find earplugs that can be used comfortably while laying on a pillow and also ensure they fit snugly to optimize their effectiveness. The most effective earbud products to mask snoring sounds have both passive and active noise cancelling as well as noise masking (such as white noise or nature sounds) to sooth the brain and distract from the snoring sounds.

Noise cancelling headphones can the best way to block out noises when you travel or work, but some studies indicate that noise cancelling earbuds for sleeping that require a phone and Bluetooth technology may be a health hazard. If that concerns you, be sure to find a pair that doesn't require a Bluetooth connection and has a battery life long enough to last through the night, along with being designed for sleeping comfortably on a pillow.

The differences between the Flex-Fit and Ergo-Soft earplugs comes down to 3 primary features; material, shape, and sizing. The Flex-Fit earplugs are made from hypo-allergenic silicone, have a straight cone shape, and come in 2 eartip sizes; whereas the Ergo-Soft are made of a soft rubber compound, have an angled cone shape, and come only in size Small.

The best earplugs are ones that provide both comfort and optimal performance. One size does not fit all which is why each set of ZQuiet Earplugs includes 2 sizes. It should fit comfortably with an airtight acoustic seal. If the earplug feels too big (creates pressure or is very difficult to insert) it probably means you have ear canals on the smaller side and should use the smaller size eartips that are included. An earplug fo sleeping is only effective effective if it can be worn throughout the night.
