Reply to comment by Verifiedvenuz in I already wear earmuffs to bed, neighbours in my apartment are so loud that they don't help. Need something stronger, any advice? by Verifiedvenuz

I understand. Sleep is so important. See my other comment. I accidentally hit enter too early. Maybe the combo set up will be more comfortable and be able to help you. Good luck!

My main issue with ear plugs is that they aren't a single purchase, but a continous one. Is there any way to alleviate that?

Have a look at builders merchants for boxes of ear plugs instead of a couple of packets on Amazon marked for sleeping. I've got 2000 pairs for £15.

Try searching for "loop earplugs" or any of the brands available that do that kind of earplugs.

I use Loop for sleep (the one that reduces noise the most) and my girlfriend uses one of the "softer" ones for concerts.

They do the work for me and it's a one time purchase.

I have to sleep with ear plugs. Buy in bulk and as long as your ears are clean, you can wear a pair for a few days.

I went to a place that fits hearing aids and they also do custom molds for ear plugs. I got my for like $120 about 3 years ago. Sleep great with them in.

I mean the ones I’ve linked are reusable. I just wash them often. I have had the same pair for several Years and they are still fine.

They're worth it. And you can reuse them a few times. I highly recommend Mack's 33 db earplugs as an investment in your sanity. I've tried pretty much every earplug out there and none compare.

I agree with the other comment that Macks are good. But I now switch to silicone earplugs because they are washable and last much longer. (Those in a christmas tree shape) I got my cheap ass ones at Daiso. Not as comfy as sponge but I can do with them.
