I don’t usually write reviews, but for the Ozlo Sleepbuds, I’m making an exception.

I’ve battled insomnia since I was 14. For the last 17+ years, Ambien (zolpidem) was the only thing that got me to sleep. Without it, severe tinnitus kicks in—my mind starts racing with a million thoughts, and it takes 4–6 hours to finally drift off. I’d wake up angry, depressed, and short-fused, which led to more meds, more problems, and a ripple effect on every part of my life—physical health, relationships, work. You name it, lack of sleep wrecked it.

At 57, I’ve now been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment/early dementia. To stay functional, I’ve cut back on some meds and lowered my zolpidem dose… which made falling asleep brutally hard again.

I’ve tried everything—white noise machines, expensive pillows, supplements, therapy, sleep studies, you name it. Thousands of dollars down the drain on stuff that didn’t move the needle.

Then I stumbled across these Ozlo Sleepbuds completely by accident. My first thought? “Yeah, right—another gadget. Probably won’t work.” I hesitated because of the price, but YOLO, I ordered them.

Best decision I’ve ever made.

Now I fall asleep in 10–15 minutes. I pick a sound (I love the campfire one—crickets, frogs, crackling fire), close my eyes, picture myself camping under the stars, and the tinnitus fades into the background. It’s still there, but masked enough that it doesn’t hijack my brain anymore.

I stay asleep longer. I wake up actually wanting to get…

I have used my Bose Sleepbuds for many years and genuinely panicked when they were discontinued—my husband snores, and Sleepbuds were the only thing that ever worked for me.

Ozlo is even better. I love that I can fall asleep listening to a podcast, and once I drift off, it automatically switches to white noise. It’s honestly a game changer!

I didn’t have huge expectations for these, as I’ve tried so long to get something to block my boyfriends snoring, so let me tell you, my life will never be the same! This is the best thing I have ever owned. I sleep like the dead now, 8 hours nearly every night! I look forward to pop in my Ozlo earbuds every night because I know I’ll get silence and calm around me. Also huge plus is the alarms from the app, I also have never woken up as easily before. These are worth the cost, believe me.

Bought for hubby who suffers with tinnitus and has tried alternate buds to sleep in but they've always fallen out or lost charge.

These have been a game changer. They remain charged throughout the night, stay connected and he's says that they're so comfortable to wear

He's managed to sleep through the night a few times since receiving these and the alarm has had to wake him for work
