Are my ears too small or something? I do have small ears

They keep coming out...

And when they're in waiting to come out they sound like bacon cooking, all this crackling & shit. How in the shit do you sleep w/ all this crackling going on?

And I can still hear stuff

It's not expanding in my ear the way it's supposed to.

This sucks ass...

you need another brand, maybe. are you using the wax ones? the foam ones?

i can't sleep in earplugs. makes me feel like i'm drowning

In that case your ears must be too big, no?

I have the same problem. I practically have to put them in diagonally.

I tried them once, and had all the same problems, just tape the top of your ear to the bottom and seal round the edges using melted candle wax, it works a treat

I don't like them either. The foam ones, 33 decibles (sp?)...

The wax ones didn't seem to have the same level of noise protection & the foam ones were out of my ears by the time I woke up today

But I guess they helped - there's work being done above me & I only woke up once & fell back to sleep... as opposed to being up for 2 hours looking @ the ceiling & cursing

NO! They don't fit in my ear canal. They just work their way out & never really get in there good. Maybe I should have tried some for kids

I've always wanted to do that thing; where a therapist sticks hollowed-out thin candles in your ear and all the gunk in your head gets sucked into the candles as they burn.

get the squishy foamy ones
you can just roll them around and twist them up and put them in that way

these are nice because they don't crackle like a foam one does and the soft flanges tend not to come back out as easily.
worth a try
