I've been using earplugs for the past couple of years. Haven't suffered any side effects. Also using Mack's

Any discomfort or feeling difficulty in breathing after using 4-5 hours?

How is Mack's noise cancelling level? It is good?

No discomfort and the noise cancelling is fantastic. If they stick out from your ears too much, I would imagine some discomfort when lying on your side.

Why would it cause breathing difficulty?

I would suggest to change them frequently as opposed to washing. You are inserting them into a bodily crevice.

Here's an article for your reading pleasure.

Thanks. Haven't tried to use it for sleeping tho. But previous brand when I left them on for around 3 hours I did feel difficult to breathe not sure why. Maybe it just my body or the earplugs weren't suitable for me.

Will going to try that Mack's small pack first. If it's alright with me I'll buy big bottle version.

Maybe it’s too quiet and your body needs to adjust or it could be due to a buildup of pressure in your ears? If you’re a side sleeper you could try plugging only one side and see if it helps. Just rest the unplugged side on your pillow to block out any noise.

About the pressure.
Will they reduce the pressure inside my ears if lying flat first? I do turn my sides when sleeping.

Not sure though as it hasn't bothered me so far. Maybe try one side for one night, then both sides on the second night and see which works best for you?
