May one enter ear plugs into his ears on Shabbos?[1]
- Sponge:Yes. There is no resemblance of a prohibition in doing so.[2]
- Wax:
Some opinions[3] forbid doing so due to the smearing prohibition as well as a possible fixing a vessel prohibition, being that he has to form the wax around his ear and in the hole for it to properly close out the noise.
Others[4] permit doing so if it was prepared before Shabbos for the measurement of one’s ear hole, as in such a case there is very minute smearing that must be done, and such a minute amount is insignificant.
