My son had trouble with noisy class room so he puts these in when he needs to and it really helps him focus.

Finally something that works. My son is highly sensitive to loud constant noises, NASCAR, concerts, etc. so he is a huge NASCAR fan an we have tried on 2 occasions to stay for the entire race but is only able to make it for part of it, cause the noise becomes overbearing. But these were the answer. They are easy to put in, comfortable and can still hear normal conversations. Highly recommend.

Got these for my 5 year old son with SPD. He enjoys them and muting the world. Love the little case, and they proved very helpful for a camping trip with noisy automatic flush toilets!

I cannot say enough good things about these ear plugs.
As someone with a kid with anxiety issues, too much noise can cause a lot of trouble, and I usually avoid going out anywhere noisy or crowded.
My kid worn these earplugs at restaurants and in movie theaters when the sound was too loud, and not only was he able to watch the movie without getting a headache, he also didn't hear the people behind me talking during the movie.
Like others have mentioned, you're still able to hear people around you, and you can keep up with the conversation, but it blocks out a lot of the background noise. Plus, since they're mostly clear, he has been able to wear them without the people around me realizing.

I bought these to reduce the background noises at work. I am extremely sensitive to sounds (especially chewing, loud breathers, etc) and work in a cubicle where I can hear everything. Vibes earplugs have saved me from losing my mind. They do not cancel out noise completely, so I can hear when people are talking directly to me without losing quality, but I no longer hear the background noises of cubicle mates that drove me crazy. Very happy with my purchase and definitely worth a shot if you want to still hear people talking to you directly but want to filter out background noises.
