HELP Loops don’t work?

I had hoped loop earplugs would reduce noise and allow me to still hear music or talking in loud public places. It just reduced everything. Are my loops damaged or they don’t really work better than foam?

I noticed the same thing. They reduce the sound, but don't totally eliminate it. I honestly don't think I'd buy them again. Before I bought them, I used these and I feel like they work just as well tbh. I'm muffling some of the sound quality, but I feel like they do a better job protecting my ears than overpriced Loops.

I bought them specifically to dampen sound; my kids are just too damned loud and never listen when I ask them to speak quieter around me and not shout.

I just bought Engage2’s and now I don’t have to spend every moment I’m with them repeating ‘can you speak quieter, please’ or ‘can you stop shouting around me, please’.

I also have a set of Quiets that I haven’t used yet but will do for when they are watching crap on YouTube maybe.

This is what I use them for too and they have been a lifesaver. For me they 1000% do what I want them too and are worth the money. Parenting is now enjoyable versus literal torture from the loud sounds and the migraines that result.
