  • ANSWER:Ear plugs are a safe and effective means of dealing with the problem of snoring. As long as you are careful that you do not traumatise your ear when inserting them, there should be no side effects. Get plugs, which have an NR (noise reduction) rating. These are designed to cut out noise.
