Boules Quies are great for blocking out the sounds that can wake you up at night. Rattling air conditioners, prancing housemates, or loud neighbors living above you, these earplugs will help bring the noise levels down and get you a better sleep.
They will also help quiet the sounds of a loud sleeping partner, though not all snoring may be masked.
But they probably won’t be powerful enough to filter out high-decibel urban and suburban sounds, such as a car alarm, police siren, or a power lawnmower.
They are easy to insert–much easier for me than the foam ones, and once inside they are very malleable, since they are made of wax. This is nice because then I can wear them fairly loosely at night when there’s no noise, and in the morning, after the squawk of the first Blue Jay, tighten them up and go back to sleep.
I also carry a pack of these when I’m traveling by air. They will eliminate most of the engine hum, and can transform a symphony of screaming babies into light background noise. (When the flight attendant comes by with your drink order, you can pull out one of the plugs half-way, or use your lip-reading skills).
