What are the noise prevention earplugs made of? Can you do it yourself?

What material is good for anti-noise earplugs.

1. Silicone earbuds:

Silicone ear tips are soaked in warm water before use to soften, because the inner wall of the ear canal is curved and soft, if the earbuds are too hard, the ear canal will be red and swollen, and the wall of the ear curve can also cause earache and redness. Therefore, it cannot be stuffed for long-term use. But silicone ear tips are easy to clean and can be used over and over again.

2. Sponge earplugs:

The hardness is good, which makes the ear canal comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is good, and there is no discomfort when used for a long time. Sponge earbuds are made of low-pressure foam mold material and high-elasticity polyester material. The anti-noise earbuds have a smooth surface and slow rebound, and there is no pain in the ears when used, and the sound isolation effect is between 25db-40db.

These earbuds are ideal for sleeping every night, but they cannot be used repeatedly due to the weakening of the slow rebound effect after washing, and generally speaking, sponge earplugs are disposable after use. However, with the development of science, up to now, there are some sponge earplugs on the market that can be used repeatedly for more than half a year and can be scrubbed.

3. Wax earbuds:

Wax earplugs are the originator of noise-cancelling earplugs, which can be softened by hand and shaped to fit the ear canal. However, the disadvantage is that it is not hygienic enough, and the wax may remain in the ear canal, which is not easy to clean. And after wearing it for a long time, there will be a feeling of swelling and pain in the ears.

Which is better, silicone earplugs or sponge.

The material of the earbuds mainly depends on personal preference and use.

If it is waterproof for swimming, of course, silicone is good.

If you are sleeping or studying, etc., to block outside noise, etc., the sponge is good and soft.

If it is an earbud of the earphone, the simple noise-free effect is good for the sponge, but this kind of earphone is not suitable for listening to songs when walking and exercising, because it will be slow to respond to the outside world, and the sponge will easily become dirty.

Most of the sound-isolating earplugs used today are made of highly elastic polyester, silicone or low-pressure foam.

By using sound-isolating earbuds inserted into the ear canal and in close contact with our external ear canal, this can play a role in isolating external sound from entering our middle and inner ears, so as to isolate sound, so that we can have a quiet rest environment or a relatively quiet working atmosphere.

At present, the earbuds on the market are classified according to the material, including silicone, sponge, and wax.

The advantage of silicone earbuds is that they can be used repeatedly, but at the same time, the disadvantage is that because the earbuds of this material are not particularly soft, the comfort is too low, and the user wears the experience is not very good.

The advantage of sponge earbuds is that they are relatively soft and have a smooth surface, so the comfort of user wearing is also relatively high, and they can be highly suitable for our ear canals, and the ears have no feeling of swelling and pain, and the sound insulation effect is also good, which is very suitable for use when sleeping every night, but the disadvantage of this kind of earbuds is that they cannot be used repeatedly, and the speed of slow rebound of such earbuds will be reduced after being cleaned and transferred, so the general sponge soundproof earbuds will be replaced in time after use.

The disadvantage of this type of earbuds is that because they are handmade, special attention should be paid to hygiene, and be careful whether the wax will be left in the ear, which is not particularly easy to clean, and if you wear this type of earbuds for a long time, the comfort of the ears is not very good, and it is easy to feel bloated.

I think the sound insulation materials of earbuds have their own characteristics, such as silicone, sponge and wax, and it is best to choose the right earbuds in different environments.

First of all, the advantage of silicone earbuds is that they can be used repeatedly, but at the same time, the disadvantage is that because the earbuds of this material are not particularly soft, the comfort is too low, and the user wears the experience is not very good.

Secondly, the advantage of sponge earbuds is that they are relatively soft and have a smooth surface, so the comfort of user wearing is also relatively high, and they can be highly suitable for our ear canals, and the ears have no feeling of swelling and pain and the sound insulation effect is also good, which is very suitable for use when sleeping every night, but the disadvantage of this kind of earbuds is that they cannot be used repeatedly, and the speed of slow rebound of such earbuds will be reduced when they are cleaned and transferred, so the general sponge soundproof earbuds will be replaced in time after use.

If the sleeping environment is noisy when sleeping, you can improve the sleep quality by wearing earplugs, but when wearing earplugs, you also need to choose a soft and natural material to protect the ear canal mucosa or periosteal damage caused by ear canal mucosal lesions. Avoid using earplugs made of synthetic fibers as well as minerals and metals, as they may affect your health, and avoid wearing them for long periods of time.

If you have sound insulation, it should be polyurethane PU is better.

1. Silicone earplugs: Silicone earplugs are soaked in warm water before use to soften, due to the bending and soft inner wall of the ear canal, if the earbuds are too hard, the ear canal will be red and swollen, and the ear curve wall can also cause earache and redness.

2. Sponge earplugs: Sponge earplugs are made of low-pressure bubble mold material and high-elasticity polyester material, with good softness and hardness, so that the ear canal is comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is good, and there is no discomfort for long-term use.

Wax earplugs are not hygienic enough, the wax may remain in the ear canal, which is not easy to clean, and the ear will feel swollen and painful after wearing it for a long time; Silicone earbuds themselves are not meant to be consumed for a long time.

In contrast, the surface of the sponge earbuds is smooth, the rebound is slow, the ears do not feel swelling and pain when used, and the sound insulation effect is between 25db and 40db; This kind of earbuds are very suitable for sleeping every night, but because the slow rebound effect will be weakened after washing, it cannot be used repeatedly, so in general, sponge earbuds are disposable after use; However, with the development of science, up to now, there are some sponge earplugs on the market that can be used repeatedly for more than half a year and can be scrubbed.

There are several main dimensions to judge the quality of an earbud.

1.Sound insulation effect - noise reduction value (NRR): Now a lot of domestic earbuds on a treasure, under the banner of super sound insulation, claim that their products can reach 35DB or even 40DB of NRR, the current internationally recognized maximum NRR value of sound isolation earbuds can reach 33DB (that is, noise reduction of about 33 decibels), and the NRR on the general market is in the range of 25 30DB.

2.Softness: Softness directly affects the comfort of wearing the earbuds, the softer the earbuds, the softer and more comfortable they will be in the ears.

3.Comfort: If the anti-noise earbuds rebound too quickly and compress the external auditory canal** when the anti-noise earbuds are inflated, it can cause discomfort such as ear swelling and earache; If the elasticity is too small, it cannot be in close contact with the external auditory canal, and the sound insulation effect is reduced.

Therefore, it is necessary to observe the rebound speed of the earbuds, the longer the rebound time, the more moderate the elasticity, the better the quality and comfort.

4.Cost-effective: Cost-effective is also a very important parameter, because after all, sound-isolating earbuds are a consumable, and if they are too expensive, it will inevitably affect the use experience (distressed wallet....)( wall).

The following is a review of several sound-isolating earbuds that are favored by people from all over the world from these four dimensions.

1.The most comprehensive range of earbuds: Sleepsheep earbuds.

This earbud can be said to be the most comprehensive one of the many earbuds I have used, whether it is sound insulation, softness, comfort or appearance is quite good, the overall color of this earbud is yellow and white, and its lemon element packaging design echoes. The characteristics of this earbud are relatively small, but whether it is a boy's or a girl's ear canal wearing test, it can be fed well to the ear canal to ensure better comfort and sound insulation effect, this earbud also has a feature that the surface layer is oil-proof and antibacterial, it is very smooth to the touch, not easy to stain, and it is very suitable for students who are worried about the long-term use of earbuds to affect the health of the ear canal.

In general, this is an earbud that both first-time earbuds and long-term earbud users can not refuse to try, cost-effective, suitable for sound insulation needs in various environments, and it is easy to turn pink after use, becoming a bedside must-have.

First, the structure is different.

1. Anti-noise earplugs: Anti-noise earplugs (also known as sound-isolating earplugs, noise-resistant earplugs, sleep earplugs) are generally made of silicone or low-pressure foam materials and high-elasticity polyester materials.

2. Anti-noise earmuffs: Anti-noise earmuffs are a kind of ear protector that can cover the entire pinna. The noise-resistant earcups consist of two round shells connected by a bow frame, with sound-absorbing material and gaskets attached to the shells, and the overall shape is like a headphone.

Second, the role is different.

1. Anti-noise earplugs: After inserting into the ear canal, it is in close contact with the external ear canal to isolate the sound from entering the middle ear and the inner ear (ear drum) to achieve the purpose of sound insulation, so that people can get a quiet rest or working environment.

2. Anti-noise earmuffs: suitable for high-noise environments, and the sound attenuation can reach 10 30db.

Third, the use of different methods.

1. Anti-noise earbuds: After entering the ear canal, it is in close contact with the external ear canal to isolate the sound from entering the middle ear and the inner ear (ear drum) to achieve the purpose of sound insulation.

2. Anti-noise earmuffs: can be used alone, can be used in combination with earbuds, or can be used by the slot with a safety helmet.
