Self-study
Hey everyone! I have small ears and was wondering if anyone had a really good recommendation for foam earplugs. The last time I took the exam in the testing center, they gave me these over-ear headphones, but they weren`t enough, particularly when the proctor came to help a student next to me. The closer to noise-cancelling, the better. Thanks!

You should try cutting the earplugs in half, and gently push them in, they'll mold around your ear easier.
@Robogf Half as in the long way or the short way?
I'd love to wear earplugs--I need absolute silence--but are we sure we can?
@fmorea We can have foam earplugs during the exam
@QAAA Awesome thanks.
They aren't foam, so idk if they will let you, but you should look into loops if they allow non-foam ones. They are worth the extra money! Super comfortable, diffrent types for different things, but the quiet 2s, are the best in my opinon!
@Kihla333 Thank you. I would love that for regular studying so I will look into that as well. But I am looking for one that I can use during the exam (only foam).
wait are we allowed to bring ear plugs to the testing center??
@Elecoo Yes as long as they are foam!
@QAAA that's great news!! thank you :)
I also have small ears, I just bought a generic CVS brand and it works quite well (ultra soft, 32 decibels), but they also make earplugs for babies/kids that may fit better for you!
@haena Thank you! I will try those out
