I stay in noisy dorm. I want to use this during sleeping. Do they totally reduce sound , say of TV, ? And how much comfortable for overnight wearing?

They are pretty big. I can't imagine sleeping with them on unless you lie flat on your back

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

Reducing TV sound totally will depend on volume of TV, normal volume yes, excessively loud, no. They will be comfortable if you sleep entirely on your back, sleeping on either side will probably cause discomfort.

AP Did you ever try these for sleeping? Or did you find another solution? My 13 year old son who has Autism can only sleep with headphones on and I am looking for a pair comfortable enough to sleep in.

We happen to live in a noisy apartment. While these ear muffs are comfy, I don't think sleeping in them would be ideal. We ended up needing to purchase a Holmes air filter and coincidently noticed it created a nice amount of white noise that reduced our overall apartment noise. I think that might be an idea you could try. We purchased our filter at Walmart, but I don't think the particular model is being made anymore. As a bonus your overall allergens in the air should be reduced ! I hope this helps :)

I'm always being woken up by my neighbors too. Before I go to sleep I put in foam earplugs plus I put on headphones and play soothing music. My headphones were only $30 (not noise cancelling) and I kind of wish I had just shelled out the extra money to buy a some with noise cancelling.

These are great at cancelling out noise - on planes. I would also worry about wrapping the cord around my neck in my sleep. Check your local noise ordinances, the police should be able to help quiet things down by 9 or 10 pm.

They'll muffle the noise but know that it may be a little uncomfortable to sleep with something in your ear. My suggestion would be to fix the source of the noise, if possible. Good luck.

I can't give you a decibels answer, but I can tell you that had it been in my bedroom at night, I would have used earplugs. It's not terribly loud, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be annoying. It worked relatively well in the 11x12 soap- curing room I used it in, but wouldn't do more than that. A window air conditioner worked better.

Fortunately, for you- not for me-, it is so noisy in the family room, making it hard to enjoy TV time or music- that it was banished to the dining room! If I may ask, noise reduction for what purpose?

If you aren't listening to a media (cd, movie), you will still be able to hear some sound with these headphones on. If you want total silence, I would get noise cancelling. Our daughter never really had a problem with the airplane noise, in fact, it made her naps on the plane longer! :-) good luck!

If you intend to be sleeping beside the snorer I wouldn't recommend these. They have a small extension that goes beyond flush with the ear. It would be uncomfortable if you turn your head on the pillow. If you are up and functioning around the snorer it would reduce the intensity of the sound but not 100%

It's noisy, I have mine in my movie room and do not really hear it if the TV is on. But if ur going to put it in ur bedroom it will prob keep u up at night.

Yes，it's much quieter than my old one (same brand). Leave it on, it wouldn't bother your sleeping.

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on.I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

It would still help but not as much. Mine sits right next to my bed, I have mine on 24/7 and on the LOW level the noise isn't enough to bother me and Im a light sleeper. I hope this helps!

These headphones can significantly reduce the TV sound from the same room. It will depend on how loud the television is and the proximity of the television speakers to the headphone wearer. I use these headphones at my computer desk that is a couple yards away from my television. My partner watches a lot of television, so I wear these headphones a lot and they definitely help reduce the television noise as well as soften the attack of the noise waves. Your point/question about airplane noise is relevant. These headphones can greatly reduce the outside airplane noise. While sound canceling headphones may not eliminate all sound, they definitely make it a lot easier to operate inside of noisy environments. If you are looking to block the television noise from a television in the same room, I would say, yes, the headphones will greatly help. After you have used the headphones a while and compare noise levels without headphones, I think you will really appreciate how the headphones help.

No it is very comfortable ! It does not make any noise when you move but that being said it does not block any noise ! I worked nights and found it better to black out my windows ! It worked the best.

Hi, Veronica. I cannot give you the technical noise reduction range. But, in my opinion these ear plugs work really well but you MUST follow the directions for proper insertion. They do not totally cancel out the noise from my husband's snoring but he's REALLY loud and these plugs reduce the noise such that I barely notice it. They allow me to get to sleep and even when I wake up in the night, I do not notice the snoring. They do, however, allow me to still hear my iPhone's alarm clock but I do have it on the night table right next to my pillow. As an aside, my husband's radio alarm is set to raucous music and he turns it up so loud that it jars me awake so badly that I'm in a foul mood. These ear plugs deaden that sound such that awaking is MUCH gentler. You should definitely give these a try. They are the ONLY ones I've found to give me relief from the noise. They even reduce the noise fatigue from airplane engine noise on long flights. I also ride a motorcycle and am thinking about trying them for long rides as the engine and wind noise can be very fatiguing as well. Hope this info helps.

Are you sure about this. I have a Sharp Aquos and I was about to return it for this issue. It is quite annoying. I have the TV in my room and the noise can affect my sleep

I'd think they'd be damned uncomfortable unless you sleep on your back without turning your head to the side at all. But, then, I've never tried sleeping with them on, so I can't provide an answer from personal experience. You'd probably be better off using some ear plugs to block out noisy neighbors.
