3M 1110 Ear Plugs Corded (Pack of 10)

Review after 2 years of use: Pros & Cons included

I've been using this 3M Earplugs for two years now. I was introduced about this product through Sandeep Maheshwari's meditation video. Initially I ordered it for my studies but now I mainly used as a sleep aid apparatus.I have sleep of a cat. My sleep is so light that even slight noice is enough to wake me up. I tried using "sleep music" (including fan voice). Don't get me wrong. It did help but I was still paranoid. The countless sleepless nights reduced my concentration and I couldn't focus on my studies.I started using earplug for meditation and studies. Then I thought why shouldn't I use it when I sleep? And I did. It did increase my sleep quality. I have secured 1st rank in my graduation. Initially using earplug was little uncomfortable for me but I got used to it.Pros:It is miraculous product for those who are light sleepers like me. It does increase your sleep quality and will prevent you from waking up in mid night from trival noices. It is made up of foam and hence comparatively softer than other Earplugs in market.Cons:It is made up of foam which is porous in nature. It does accumulate microbes from environment. The ear-fluid and sweat support growth of microbes/germs on surface of earplug. So if you don't carefully handle it, you won't be able to use it multiple times. But even if you maintain hygiene and sanitize your hand before application, it still cannot be used for more than 15 days. I have tested it. Used hand sanitizer every time I plug it in my ear but still after month or so, I got ear infection. So no matter how you handle it, after few weeks, you have to throw it. So I replace it every 15 days.I am not supposed to use it even for 15 days as it is "use and throw" product but because I'm from middle class family, I can't afford to do that. But I would say you can use it for 15 days (maximum) if you maintain hygiene and handle it with utmost care (place it in sterilize box/bottle).Thanks for reading.

Soft

Very soft and comfortable, does not hurt the ears even after long use. Noise cancellation is excellent, blocks most of the outside sound. The cord is very useful so they don't get lost. Good for sleeping, studying and travelling. Great quality at an affordable price.

Totally useless product

Totally useless for me. It just doesn’t go into my ears. It is soooo soft that it bends instead of going into the ear. My sincere advice … don’t buy this product and waste your money.
