Earplugs for studying
You’ve got a big deadline, but you just can’t focus. Your essay is due tomorrow but the flat upstairs has decided to have a party.
Or you’re cramming done before an exam – and there’s construction work going on outside your room.
Or perhaps you nip into your local coffee shop to grab a latte and prepare for your seminar, but the sound of chattering all around you drives you to distraction.
Background noise can drive you to distraction when you’re trying to focus – and it can be even worse if you’re sensitive to noise. But there is one easy way to take the edge off the noise and focus on the task at hand, distraction-free. We’re talking about earplugs for studying.
Benefits of using earplugs for studying
Whether you like to study at home, in cafes or on the bus, it’s likely that it’s never completely silent. Not even the library is safe, with other students whispering to each other, chairs scraping, and the noise of people walking around as they search for the book they need.
And background noise can have a real impact on concentration – which is worse for some people than others. It all comes down to how our brains work. When there’s background noise, some people can easily filter it out to focus on whatever they’re working on. But for others, background noise confuses the brain signals, which makes it difficult to know what they should focus on – which can lead to overstimulation and procrastination.
If you’ve ever found yourself feeling anxious and restless while trying to study in a noisy environment, like a cafe, or in your bedroom while your flatmates are being loud, you may be sensitive to noise.
Background noise can cause you to be more easily distracted, and reduce your ability to concentrate. Even low-level noises, like the sound of your washing machine or traffic on the road outside, can be highly distracting for people with noise sensitivity, making studying seem like an impossible task.
That can lead you to be less productive, which can be stressful when you have deadlines looming – and you’re already stressed from being stuck in a noisy environment. It feels like a vicious cycle.
Wearing earplugs to study can take the edge off, to create a quieter, calmer environment. That means that you’re less likely to be distracted, and more likely to stay focused – leading to study success.

I bought these because I’m autistic and I struggle to concentrate with a lot of noise around me. When I need to concentrate on studying I find too much noise distracts me and impacts on my mood and productivity. These are great to block out unwelcome noise and increase my concentration.

I recently bought these as I get overstimulated easily at school. They’re great for making the noisy classroom quieter and helps me focus a LOT more without the distraction of people's voices constantly banging in my ears. The mute inserts are very good for when I need a bit of extra quiet as they’re easy to put in. Overall I absolutely love them and 100% recommend!
