How effective is this against blocking out snoring?

Well, it blocks out the concrete chippers and air hammers working on our building so that we old folks can nap but we are a little hard of hearing anyway. Seriously, the thing sucks up a lot of noise. We love it. We call it our "music". As in, turn on the music, dear.

Let's face it: if you're in the same room with a snorer, you're out of luck. This is a wonderful little machine, and its purpose is to provide a nice steady ambient noise. It's great for helping you stay asleep through occasional sounds like cars going down the street or the furnace kicking on and off. But if you're partnered with someone who snores loudly, you're still gonna hear that. Best I can tell you is try the machine out, and if it doesn't drown out the sawmill next to you, take it to another room and shut the door behind you!

I don't have that problem but I wouldn't think it would very effective. However, it can get very loud.

No they won't cancel snoring. Not effective on speech, just on constant background noise.

A little, but it really helps to block out the light. My husband wears ear plugs as well as the mask and he says that he sleeps very well. It does cover the ears, but I wouldn't count on it blocking out all noises. It definitely keeps out light and is great if a person has to sleep during the day!

I do every night (or day) - my wife snores pretty badly, plus I sometimes work nights and sleep days. These keep all the normal household noises from waking me up or keeping me from sleeping. Best to use with WhiteNoise app to add a soothing random noise to cover up the noise. The isolation is a combination of the covering noise and the insulation of the fit.

I got these for my husbands snoring to block it out. It did not work. It somewhat muffles the sound kinda like if you are under water and you can still hear all the loud noise in the pool area, it's just not as clear. For the price they are worth trying. The quality is very good. They are attached to something that can go around your neck. As far as quality I'd say excellent. Maybe I'm not inserting properly or my husbands snoring is unbearable. I can hear him in another room with my door shut and our bedroom door shut. Give them a try, they seem pretty nice quality. Very durable better than the foam for sure.

It fits okay. It has Velcro on the straps to adjust for a good fit. My partner says that it helps because I dont snore anymore. I am still trying to get used to wearing something on my head while I sleep but I have noticed that I am getting better rest and not as tired during the day.

They do block out snoring as long as you place them in your ears as directed. Squeeze the foam plug together, place in your ear and let the foam expand to fill the ear canal.

It helps snoring. In my case, at least, it didn't stop it entirely but it does enough that it no longer bothers my husband.

I use mine with CPAP. I put one tab in at night before I put my mask on and it does a decent job at keeping my mouth from feeling like cotton. I sleep with my mouth completely open so my mouth still becomes dry but not nearly as bad as it was without the tabs. I've tried two tabs with minor improvement so I stick with one. I definitely say that it's better than nothing. I do wake up with thick saliva in my mouth in the morning so be aware of that. I have a Philips Respironics at a pressure of 10 and a Mirage Quattro mask.

I wouldn't waste the money, the strap doesn't work. Instead of holding your jaw out, it actually forces it in making the snoring worse.

I've found these earplugs to be the best brand for blocking out snoring. Been using them for years just for that purpose.

Depends on how loud the snoring is. The ER20 is rated to reduce all frequencies by 20dB. If the snoring is room-shakingly loud, you won't completely cancel it but will reduce it to a much lower level. A friend of mine used these ER20s to sleep every night; he and his girlfriend lived a couple stories above a downtown nightclub which blasted thumping dance music all night.

I can't answer this question because I'm not a doctor, but I had a snoring problem before I used and it seems to work well.

Not sure. We bought this to help with husband's snoring. Works great for that.

I haven't used it with my CPAP yet, but I've sure thought about it. Mostly I use it to take naps in my car. It seems like it would work well.

With just the noise cancelling, no. With noise cancelling and music, yes! My partner snores terribly and these have been amazing, provided that I'm listening to something through them (nature sounds seem to have an additional "white noise" type of effect).

I guess that depends on the snore-er. They do not 100% block out my husband's, I'd say closer to 80%. I would say he has a medium-loud snore. I truly do not believe any ear plug will give complete silence... I've tried many.
