I usually use the orange 3m foam ones or the silicone ones.

The silicone ones are much comfier and seem to block out the sound just as much. The issue is neither block out the sound enough for me.

I also use white noise and turn the tv on and its not enough.

Does anyone have specific earplug recommendations for sleeping please? Side sleeper here so I can’t use wireless earphones 😢

    The only thing I’ve found that works well for me are custom earplugs. The silicone ones that look like this:

    They were expensive (about €100 for the pair), and I had to go to an audiologist to get them made. I’ve had mine for over 5 years now and can honestly say they have saved my sanity. I live next to a loud street and it was impossible to sleep without them.

      Honestly, I’m not sure there’s a place that does this where I live, but I will look into it. Do you know if they can make those online?

      Maybe I can find a place that can do it remotely, in Europe. Like they send a mold or something.

        I’m not sure but I doubt it. They inject some silicone into your ears with something that looks like a caulking gun, then the mold gets sent off to make the earplugs, which were then mailed to me. Are there places around you that sell hearing aids? They might sell those there. If it’s any help I’m in France, so it’s definitely possible to get them made in Europe.

          Thanks! There are some hearing clinics, I guess I should call them up and ask. Though I haven’t seen any such things on their websites.

            Hey it doesn’t hurt to ask, hopefully if they don’t produce the earplugs they might be able to tell you where to go. Good luck!!
