I have the double ended sleep plugs. They didn't come with interchangeable soft bits for adjusting the size, so they don't fit one ear very well (I'm a bit asymmetrical). The stem is hard, so if the angle is out a bit they still hurt after a while on one side and they are no better at blocking snores than any other plugs. Soft disposables are still the best option for me so far.

So I was blessed with unusually and unnecessarily good hearing. Like I can hear batteries charging...in another room. So for me I hear everything. 5 Siberian forest cats being wild and crazy at night? Wife who falls asleep in seconds snoring? Neighbors drunk son throwing bottles out at 1 am all the time into huge noisy trash cans? The train a mile and a half away along the Hudson River? All that blocked out with these. I fell asleep and stayed asleep for the first time in ages. But if a loud enough voice or tv program is on, you CAN hear it, but that's for awake time(I wanted to see what could and couldn't be heard). I highly recommend.

These handy plugs are very comfortable in the ear and effective at blocking out background night-time noise. Recommended.
