Canal only
It sits in the canal. Made for side sleepers.
Super-Soft is a canal-only earplug with a small pull tab for taking it out. It’s made from molds of your ear canals and locks into the second bend of the canal, so it’s designed to hold a tight seal for side sleepers wherever you sleep. It’s made from our softest silicone, and nothing sticks out to press into the pillow.
Squeeze it. That’s how soft it is.
Super-Soft is our softest silicone. It folds between two fingers and springs right back.

How it works
Four simple steps, start to finish
Every set is made from impressions of your own ears. You take them at home with the kit we send you. Watch the process →
Step 1: Order
Choose your options and check out. Your home impression kit is included.
Step 2: Receive your kit
It arrives 3 to 5 business days after we receive your order. Watch your email for the tracking number.
Step 3: Make your impressions
About 15 to 20 minutes at home, with a video that walks you through every step. You can do it yourself; a second person makes it easier.
Step 4: Send them back
Pack them in the same box and use the prepaid return label. We start building the day they arrive.
Then we hand-build your set in 40 business days from the day your impressions reach our lab and ship it to your door, with a 30-day fit warranty. If the fit is off, we adjust it.
Questions about the kit
What if my impression doesn’t come out right?
We check every impression before we build. If one needs to be redone, we send you another kit at no charge. The kit also has extra material in case you want a second try.
Do I need someone to help me?
No. You can take your impressions yourself by following the video. A second person makes it easier, because they can see into your ear, but you don’t need one.
When will my order arrive?
Your kit arrives 3 to 5 business days after we receive your order. Once your impressions reach our lab, we hand-build your set in 40 business days and ship it to your door.
Already have impressions? If we made your last pair, choose “Big Ear already has my impressions” at checkout. From an audiologist? Mail them to Big Ear Inc, 101 Durden Park Row, Blythewood, SC 29016.
Published studies, plain English
What the research says
We read the studies on custom earplugs. Here’s what they found, with a link to each one.
Same seal, every time
Custom fits the same way each time you put it in.
In a lab study, custom earplugs gave more consistent protection from one fitting to the next than a premolded earplug.
Tufts, Jahn & Byram, Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2013 (opens the study in a new tab)
Comfort you keep in
Workers rated custom the most comfortable.
In a study of 118 workers who tried nine earplug models, custom molded earplugs were rated the most comfortable. An earplug only protects you while it’s in.
Terroir et al., Ergonomics, 2021 (opens the study in a new tab)
Fit beats the box
The number on the box isn’t the whole story.
Real-world protection from any earplug is often well below its rating. How well it fits in your ear matters most.
The straight answer: studies don’t show that custom earplugs block more noise than a foam plug rolled and seated perfectly. What they show is that custom ones seat the same way every time and are comfortable enough to keep in, which is how you actually get the protection.
Why foam lets you down at night
Foam was never made for a pillow.
You roll it, push it in and hope. Then you turn onto your side.
01
It presses.
Foam expands to fill your ear canal, and the pillow pushes it in deeper. The ear you sleep on wakes up sore.
02
It works loose.
Every turn of the head and every jaw movement nudges it out. Plenty of people find one in the sheets in the morning.
03
You buy it forever.
A fresh pair most nights, box after box, and the seal is a little different every time you roll one in.
Built for side sleepers
Soft enough to lie on. Shaped to stay put.
Super-Soft starts with impressions of your own ears, taken at home with the kit we send. Our lab in the USA hand-builds each plug to that shape, so it seals by fitting your ear, not by expanding against it.
- Our softest silicone. Platinum-cure silicone rated Shore A 25, softer than the Shore A 35 we use for our filtered plugs.
- Canal only, with a pull tab. It sits in your ear canal, so nothing rests in the bowl of your ear for the pillow to push on. The small tab lets you pull it out easily.
- Rated 32 dB. A solid plug made to turn the room down: traffic, a snoring partner, a TV through the wall.
- Built to last 7 to 10 years. Wash it and wear it again, night after night.
How soft is Super-Soft?
Who it helps
For anyone who needs the night quieter.
Light sleepers
The fridge, the street, the neighbor’s door. Turn the small sounds down.
A snoring partner
Turn the snoring down so you can fall asleep beside it.
Night shift and day sleep
Sleep through the daytime noise when your night starts at 8 a.m.
City and traffic noise
Sirens, buses and late-night voices under the window.
Small ear canals
Foam and one-size plugs are often too big. Yours is molded to your exact size.
Side and stomach sleepers
The people foam lets down the most. A low, soft fit you can lie on.
Foam or custom
What you get for the money.
An honest look at the two, over the years you will actually use them.

Hand-built in the USA
Made for your ears alone.
Not assembled overseas, not drop-shipped, not rushed. One pair at a time, for one set of ears at a time. We are proud of that, and we think you can hear the difference.
The detail
If you have ever tried to sleep on your side with an earplug in, you know the problem. It presses. It aches. By two in the morning you have pulled it out, and you are listening to everything again.
Full Stop Super-Soft is the fix. Built in the softest silicone we make and molded to each ear, it seals gently, with no hard edges to press in, even with the side of your head on the pillow. Night-shift workers, light sleepers, anyone who lives next to noise: this is complete quiet you can actually keep in until morning.
The softest, most comfortable seal we have ever built.
Hand-built in the USA, one pair at a time, and backed by our 30-day fit warranty.
