Best Answer

The first recorded use of wax earplugs is in The Odyssey, wherein Odysseus's crew used wax earplugs to avoid being distracted by the Sirens' songs. The Iliad, and the Odyssey that follows it, record historical events that occurred around 800 BC. Ear plugs were probably in use before then.

Which earplugs are the most comfortable for your ears?

The comfort level of earplugs varies from person to person due to differences in ear shapes and sensitivities. However, many users have found foam earplugs, such as those from brands. Custom-molded silicone earplugs also offer a personalized fit for enhanced comfort.


if you have 67 people and they all want earplugs and a box of earplugs costs $ 2.37 and each box has 5 pairs of earplugs how many boxes do you need?

To determine the number of boxes of earplugs you need for 67 people, you need to divide the total number of people by the number of pairs of earplugs in each box. If each box has 5 pairs of earplugs, then you would need 67 / 5 = 13.4 boxes of earplugs. Since you cannot purchase a partial box, you would need to round up to the nearest whole number and purchase 14 boxes of earplugs. At a cost of $2.37 per box, the total cost would be 14 * $2.37 = $33.18.
