Since you don't do well with earplugs, you could try "hairband headphones" (not sure if this the correct term) with white noise or rain noises. They are flat and can supposedly be used even if you're a side sleeper. I personally haven't tried them yet, so take this with a grain of salt.

These were life changers for me. I have both the headband ones and the sleep mask one. I have mild tinnitus, so I always need some sort of sound going. These headphones coupled with some sleep podcasts on Spotify (sleep with me, sleepy, the sleepy bookshelf, etc) make falling asleep a breeze now.
