The health benefits of wearing ear plugs for sleeping every night far outweigh any potential downsides, provided you follow some basic hygiene rules. Replace disposable earplugs regularly, clean reusable earplugs before use and clean hands and ears prior to applying earplugs. Also, be sure to keep earwax buildup in check by using a simple over-the-counter treatment, like Mack’s® ProRInse® Earwax Removal Kit, as needed.
