Ear Plugs for Prayer

Can you wear ear plugs for amidah if it helps kavana?

Answer:

As long as they are inserted before the Amidah, and don’t disturb other people i.e. they don’t stand out and look funny to people, this would be permissible.

  1. I thought you had to hear the words from your mouth like Ruth? How is this possible with ear plugs?

    1. one must hear the words, i don’t think ear plugs will block out one’s own voice, if they do it would be an issue
