We could all use better sleep. Small sounds and bumps in the night can disrupt your slumber without realizing it. If you’ve ever been sensitive to sounds and felt them wake you up in the middle of the night, it’s time to lean into high-quality earplugs to help you stay asleep. These are our top picks.
Eargasm high-fidelity earplugs for sensitivity
The name says it all. These high-fidelity earplugs help block out sounds and reduce loud booms, so they don’t wake you up in the middle of the night. With a high-end design, these reduce the world’s noise around you without tuning it out completely. There’s also a quick pull-out tab for easy retrieval.
Ultra soft 38dB noise-reducing earplugs
Not a fan of reusable earplugs? Grab this pack of foam plugs that slowly expand to fill your ear cavity, reducing sound around you and softening the harsh, thunderous noise of the world.
These work well for travel, shooting, construction, home projects and sleep. They’re inexpensive and not the highest quality, but they are a great, cheap introduction to earplugs.

Want an even cheaper introduction to earplugs? You get less in a pack, but Flents foam earplugs help you determine which foam density you like with slow-release technology. These reduce noise without canceling everything out, so you can still be alert. Now the cat won’t wake you up with its late-night meowing.
