Also a side sleeper with the same issues.<p>I tried two pairs of these Radians and couldn&#x27;t get them to work well.  They don&#x27;t form a proper seal I think, not exactly sure.  Def. not as effective as normal ear plugs when it comes to blocking out sound for me.  I&#x27;m not sure if I did something wrong during the molding process or my ear shape is somehow incompatible with them but I did carefully try twice to no avail.<p>Any tips?
