Score:

Noise is everywhere, unless you are lucky and live in a rural area in a country with plenty of room. The US, UK, Germany, France… If you’re not that lucky, you live in a crowded city where police helicopters constantly fly above your place, cars and lorries find your street the best to pass through on their way from one motorway to the other, and frustrated mothers come to stroll with their screaming children.

But fear not. If your ears haven’t been exposed to dangerous levels of pounding “music” yet, there’s hope for you. It comes in the form of two small foamy plugs. We like to call them ear plugs. Actually, the polyurethane foam variety can decrease noise with up to 32 dB. My personal favourites are those from Quies, a French company specialised in these little pluggies.
