Best practices for using Loop Earplugs
Getting the right fit is key to ensuring your earplugs are comfortable and effectively reduce noise levels. Here’s how to insert your earplugs in three simple steps:
- Hold the ring of the earplug between your thumb and index finger, then gently insert the ear tip into your ear.
- Once it seals the ear canal, give the earplug a small twist towards the back until it sits snugly at the base of your ear.
- Adjust until the ring feels comfortable and your earplugs can’t be seen from the front.
We recommend trying on all the ear tip sizes to find your most comfortable fit. You might also need different sizes for your left and right ear

Frequently asked questions
Are there earplugs that block noise but not voices?
The best earplugs for noise reduction don’t block out noise completely. Instead, they filter sound waves, so the sound quality is still high – just at a lower volume – so you’ll still be able to hear voices.
How do noise reducing earplugs work?
Most earplugs muffle tones because they block sound waves. Loop earplugs combine a patented acoustic channel and mesh to filter them instead, keeping sound quality clear, just at a reduced volume.
What factors should I consider when choosing noise reducing earplugs?
Look out for earplugs with a high level of noise reduction to reduce noise to a safe level. You’ll want to choose earplugs that are comfortable for all-day wear. Loop earplugs come with a choice of four ear tip sizes so you can always get the perfect fit.
What is the significance of the noise reduction rating (NRR) when selecting earplugs?
The noise reduction rating shows how effective earplugs are in reducing noise, with a higher NRR ensuring better noise reduction. It’s important to choose earplugs with an appropriate NRR for the activity you’ll be doing, such as sleeping, traveling or going to sporting events.
Are there any additional noise reduction solutions besides earplugs?
There are several ways to reduce noise, including earplugs, custom-molded earplugs and ear defenders or ear muffs. It’s up to you to choose the solution that works best for your situation – but earplugs are generally more portable and convenient than bulky ear defenders, and cheaper than custom-molded earplugs.
Are there noise blocking earplugs available for extreme noise environments?
Just look out for a high noise reduction rating. Whether you work on a construction site, need earplugs for flying, or are a regular at concerts and events, choose earplugs with a NRR that will reduce the noise to a safe level.
