Yes, and it’s the right thing to check before buying. Life+ uses a patented 2-lamella design that attenuates low-frequency sounds (the constant drone of monitors, HVAC systems, distant conversation) while letting high-frequency sounds through clearly. That includes nurse call systems, personal alarms, smoke detectors, and a voice addressing you directly. You sleep through the background. You do not sleep through anything that matters.

Foam earplugs block everything and degrade after a single use. They expand outward in the ear canal, which causes discomfort when you’re sleeping on your side and can make removal difficult after certain procedures. Life+ is made from medical-grade silicone, sits flush without expansion pressure, and filters sound selectively. One pair lasts up to 100 uses and is fully washable.

This was part of the design brief. Traditional earplugs have a protruding stem that presses against the pillow when you turn onto your side, creating pressure on the ear canal that wakes you up. Life+ has no stem. The conical body sits flush, so there is nothing to press against the pillow. On your back, left side, or right — the fit stays stable and comfortable throughout.

Life+ is made from medical-grade silicone. BPA-free, PVC-free, and latex-free. There are no known allergens in the material. The same silicone formulation is used in a range of medical-grade applications. The aluminium travel case keeps the earplugs hygienic between uses, and the earplugs themselves can be rinsed with warm water after each wear.

A hospital ward at night typically registers between 50 and 65 dB, with spikes from alarms and equipment reaching 80 dB or higher. A 24 dB reduction brings the constant background level down to the range of a quiet room, typically 25 to 40 dB, which is within the range where sleep onset and sleep maintenance become significantly easier. The 24 dB figure is independently certified by PZT GmbH (Notified Body No. 1974) across 1,700+ tests under EN ISO 4869-1.

Both, genuinely. For your hospital stay: better sleep during recovery directly supports faster recovery. For the longer term: one pair lasts up to 100 uses. At £29.95 that works out to 30p per night. Most people who buy Life+ for a hospital stay end up using it every night at home afterwards — snoring partner, street noise, or just sleeping more deeply. The aluminium case means it stays in your bag permanently.

Life+ is made from soft medical-grade silicone and sits at the entrance of the ear canal rather than being inserted deeply. It does not require compression or forceful insertion. That said, if you have had ear surgery, an active ear infection, or a perforated eardrum, we recommend checking with your medical team before use. For any general ward stay or maternity stay, the material and fit design present no known concerns.

Life+ comes in two sizes. If you are unsure, our AR KI TECH fit service removes the guesswork entirely: upload two photos of your ears from your phone, and the AI determines your exact canal size and recommends the right variant. This is why our return rate sits at 3%, compared to an industry average of 15 to 20%. You can also order both sizes and return whichever does not fit within the 40-day guarantee window.

Try Life+ for up to 40 nights. If you’re not sleeping better, contact us and we’ll refund you in full, no questions asked. We offer 40 days rather than the standard 30 because finding your ideal fit and settling into a new sleep habit takes a little time. Over 10,000 verified reviews suggest you won’t need the guarantee. But it’s there either way.

Each pair is rated for up to 100 uses. After each use, rinse with warm water and mild soap, allow to air dry, and return to the aluminium travel case. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Inspect the silicone periodically for any signs of wear or tearing. Most users find a pair lasts several months of nightly use before replacement is needed.
