Better night’s sleep and helpful measurement service

The earplugs help me get a much better night's sleep because I am no longer kept awake by snoring or my cat asking for breakfast at 4am! I can still hear sounds but they are quieter and so don't disturb me, and I can hear my alarm in the mornings. The standards ones were a bit uncomfy but the Bollsen Arkitech team were helpful when I was trying to work out how to add measurement to my next order. My new earplugs are smaller and are comfortable.

Life+ with AR KI TECH Measuring earplugs

I have been using the Life+ with AR KI TECH Measuring earplugs for years to enable me to sleep. They are fantastic and the only plugs I have been able to use nightly. I lost one of the earplugs and within one day I have new pairs with me - excellent service! If, like me, you struggle to sleep but don't want a total block out of all noise these are definitely worth a try.

This model lets sound through completely, does not help

Although the model I purchased appeared ergonomic, in reality, the device kept falling out of my ears, didn’t stay securely in place, and, most importantly, failed to block even minor noise. This model lets sound through completely and does not help with sleep.
