Will these help with with misophonia triggers? I would like to block out chewing and gulping noises roughly 10 feet away.

Not sure about those noises. The seem to block white noise and reduce loud music best. At a rock concert I could hear my wife talking to me clearly.

I have actually used these for snoring-blocking when I was sharing a cabin a while back. It will block out light snoring but not heavy (you know, the surgery-required kind) but they definitely take the edge off! They also block out noisy neighbours, music playing nearby, etc.. Highly recommend them.

I don't think they'd block out all sound but I think would be sufficient for most ranges. I shoot too and they certainly block out as much sound as my normal shooting muffs do. I don't use them because I normally shoot rifle and shotgun and the profile is too large and would get in the way of the gun stock. But if you're talking pistol, I would think they'd be just fine

I think they would work for the loud noises at a Monster Truck Show. I got them for my autistic granddaughter and they work great to block out most of the intense noises she does not like or is frightened or uncomfortable with.

Yes, they would work very well for that. I use them at work to block out annoying co workers and my boss always telling me what to do. However the music volume doesn't go very loud because they are not amplified speakers. I don't use them often anymore tho because I don't have a job due to my lack of coherence.

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)

It definitely lessens them, but I doubt anything practical will completely block low deep noises, since these tend to pass through almost any barrier. Regardless, this is the best sound machine that I know of. The company also provides excellent service - twice sending me a new one when one of the two I recently bought had a problem. I've also bought several other models from them over the last 20 years or so for a variety of situations.

I would suggest they would be as effective as an able person "calling out", so between nearby rooms with open doors they should be OK for this purpose. Ours are too new to comment on sound volume as batteries wear out. They take 2 x AAA batteries and need a small Phillips ("cross") screw driver, so use quality alkalines (like Duracell or Energizer). At the low price for these buzzers, it's a great idea to try for that purpose and, if they don't suit, maybe donate them to your local school? :-)

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

It should cancel out the noise, but they are a bit bulky. If you want to hear voices some others allow those sounds to be heard while filtering the white noise. If you don't care about voices, these are great and very affordable.

No but they may reduce the sound enough for you to concentrate. They do not block out the sound completely.

I have used these for DJ'n (especially in smaller bars, etc) where speaker is 20' or less away and the music gets to be too much to understand requests. Can still hear people talking as long as they are close by. I think I have hearing damage already so without ear filters/plugs I can't hear people very far away anyways.I have not used the gold filters but the silvers seem to do real good.

Yes, their great for all kinds of other noises, gun, voice, office noise, in-laws and dogs barking! Super comfortable!

Although these are awsome at protecting your hearing, I would recommend a smartphone with a noise generator app with a set of in ear headphones. Not exactly 'noise cancellation' but it will give your ears something else to focus on. I wish these protectors had a mother-in-law setting.

Maybe, if you are someone who can sleep lying on his/her back all night long, or has a special donut-shaped pillow which leaves room for the earmuffs. If the sound you are trying to deaden is rumbly, be aware that some of that low frequency sound is still going to get through.

No they don't work like that. There is no audio input, thats not what they are meant for, they are for blocking out sounds on the range that would harm your ears.

I have only used them once for shooting practice. It did a good job silencing the gun noise and I couldn't hear people's voices very much. Not sure how it would be for your use.
