These earplugs are unique in their composition – they are made from cotton wool soaked in a mixture of petroleum jelly and a variety of paraffin waxes. These way plugs effectively muffle sound allowing for safe entry to noisy environments and sleep when there is noise nearby. The soft, skin-friendly material fits securely into the ear, making the earplugs extremely comfortable to wear and ensuring there is no feeling of pressure. And I wanted to investigate further (and quantify) how well these wax earplugs work against low frequency noise <125 Hz. The manufacturer markets them as on-ear earplugs; unlike foam earplugs, they are meant to seal the ear canal at the entrance and not go into the ear.

ON-EAR earplugs, which are positioned in front of the opening of the auditory canal and gently pressed in, or OHROPAX Mini Soft, which are also perfect for smaller auditory canals due to their reduced size, are both suitable in this case. Warning: Failure to observe the instructions can considerably impair the protective effect of the product.

Also because it is sticky I would suggest you only use each plug no more than once or twice to avoid infection.The foam earplugs sit comfortably in the ear and look good in their brightly coloured design, allowing you to celebrate safely and enjoy the sound. The noise level was reduced but not massively and the plugs were not comfy to wear as they remained a bit too solid to mould really well and let noise in. With those, I got less than 10 decibels on average from 40 to 125 Hz; Ohropax did a lot better against bass noise. Ohropax Classic are earplugs of wax that protect your ears from noise (27dB) and also against splashes of water.
