Question 1

Do they work for large canals?

Accepted Answer

Beware the BEST PRICES seller, buy direct from Hearos.  The picture showed Hearos Xtreme ear plugs, which I have ordered six times in the past several years.  The first five orders were fulfilled by Hearos and the ear plugs were great – 5 stars!  In the sixth order, fulfilled by BEST PRICES, I received a substitute brand called Veook.  The Hearos were a solid blue color. The Veook plugs are mottled light and dark blue and do not expand into and stay in my rather large ear canal.  The Hearos were about 0.55 inches (14 mm) diameter, the Veooks were smaller at 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) diameter, and yellow 3M are still smaller at 0.46 inches (11.7 mm) diameter.  The Hearos can be used several times (which I understand is probably not hygienic), until they will no longer compress and expand reliably.  Five stars for actual Hearos Xtreme ear plugs.  One star for the BEST PRICES seller, upon whom I wish a pox or the virus.

Question 2

Are these the blue originals with flat backs or beige? The Specifications says beige above, but the picture is of the original blues. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

They are the original blue flat backs.  But they don't seem to be as dense as they used to be. Some are, some are not...the ones that aren't don't keep the sound out as well.

Question 3

Has anyone purchased these in 2021? are they made in usa and assembled in mexico, the true 33db blockers?

Accepted Answer

Made and Assembled in Mexico according to the box.

Question 4

Are these latex free?

Accepted Answer

"MADE IN THE USA - Silky smooth, hypoallergenic, super soft proprietary formulation of polyurethane foam for an ultra premium user experience. Popular tapered shape with flat back and its well known blue color."  I'm allergic to latex and use these every night with no problem.
