Comfortable earplugs for studying

A quick snack. A scroll through socials. Looking out the window.

You know how it is. Some days you just can’t get into the groove – even when you really, really need to get your head down and study.

And with all these distractions, you don’t need noises to distract you, too. Whether you’re studying at home but it sounds like a herd of elephants live in the flat upstairs, or you’re trying to study in a cafe where other people just won’t stop talking, there are distracting noises everywhere.

Every single sound is tearing you away from the task at hand. And if you have noise sensitivity, it can be even more distracting – not to mention more stressful.

You need peace and calm. The chance to channel your focus and get back on track. But you don’t want to lock yourself away in a quiet library.

There is another way: earplugs for studying.

Benefits of using earplugs for studying

Background noise can have a real impact on concentration – but it affects everyone differently. It all comes down to how our brains are wired. When there’s background noise, some people are still able to focus. But for others, it confuses the brain signals, meaning it’s hard to know what to focus on.

Studying with earplugs can help to minimize background noise and other auditory distractions, meaning that you can actually concentrate on the important stuff.

Trying to study in noisy environments can be overwhelming and stressful. If you feel restless, find your heart racing, or are irritated, then you may have noise anxiety. By wearing earplugs while studying, you can take the edge off the noise. That means you’ll be creating a calmer environment for yourself, so you can study with less stress – and more success.

The best earplugs for studying offer comfort and noise reduction. Enter Loop Quiet earplugs. They’re designed to reduce noise by up to 26.2 decibels (SNR)/14 decibels (NRR) to remove distractions and boost your productivity.

They come with a choice of four ear tip sizes so you can get the perfect fit and they’re made from super soft silicone so even when you’re wearing them for a mammoth study session, they’ll feel comfortable.

Plus, they’re lightweight and easy to carry (they even come with a handy Carry Case) so you can stash them in your pocket or bag, ready to whip out wherever you’re studying, from coffee shops to communal working spaces. And you can keep your Loops close with the tug-resistant Loop Link connector cords so your earplugs are always within reach.

How to study effectively with earplugs

Earplugs alone won’t help you ace your exams (sorry!) but they are an essential part of your toolkit for effective studying.

Another way to stay focused while studying is to create a productive study environment. Make sure you’ve got a comfortable chair and clear away any clutter. And – unless you need it as a study aid – put your phone away.

Setting goals for yourself to achieve each day can help, as can breaking down big tasks into more manageable chunks.

Trying out different methods of managing your time, like the Pomodoro technique, can work too. It breaks your work down into smaller chunks, where you study for 25 minutes, distraction-free, and then take 5 minutes to do whatever you want – from checking your phone to grabbing a drink. It can really help you to get your head in the game and ensure you meet your deadlines with less stress.

  • I bought these because I’m autistic and I struggle to concentrate with a lot of noise around me. When I need to concentrate on studying I find too much noise distracts me and impacts on my mood and productivity. These are great to block out unwelcome noise and increase my concentration.

  • I recently bought these as I get overstimulated easily at school. They’re great for making the noisy classroom quieter and helps me focus a LOT more without the distraction of people's voices constantly banging in my ears.   The mute inserts are very good for when I need a bit of extra quiet as they’re easy to put in. Overall I absolutely love them and 100% recommend!
