Everyone’s ears are a little different and it will take some practice putting EarPeace on and taking them out. We encourage you to try them on before going out and getting comfortable with how they feel. EARPEACE earplugs are designed to fit snug in your ear and virtually disappear. With a little practice, you’ll feel the point at which EARPEACE is snug and comfortable. It's safe to insert them deep in the ear canal, but only when following the directions carefully and positioning the pull-tab properly so you can get them out. DO NOT over insert the earplugs. DO not push the earplugs further into the ear canal after releasing the pull-tab. Please watch our product instructional video on how to insert and remove them properly.
