They do the job for me.
I'm sensitive to sound in general, so I carry earplugs with me all the time. These earplugs do not block out all of the sound, they muffle it, making it easy to carry on a conversation, or fall asleep. These are easy to clean, easy to see and carry.  I was using the silicone "pillows" which are magnets for every speck of dirt and  probably leave a film inside the ear canal-not healthy. I had to throw them out after only a few uses. As opposed to these, which I can rinse off.
