01 / A closer look
Choose a format you can use correctly.
Foam, reusable, and moldable products have different instructions. Read the manufacturer’s fitting guidance and choose a format you feel comfortable using as directed.
02 / A closer look
Try your usual sleeping position.
A shape that seems comfortable sitting up may feel different against a pillow. Consider how far the product protrudes and whether the package offers different sizes.
03 / A closer look
Plan for everyday care.
Check whether an item is single-use or reusable, how it should be cleaned, and when it should be replaced. Include a clean case in the routine if you travel.
04 / A closer look
Think about what you need to hear.
Consider alarms, children, and other sounds you need to notice. Stop using a product that causes discomfort and ask a qualified professional about ear symptoms rather than trying to solve them with a different fit.
