    Default Earplugs for Sleeping

    Relations with my upstairs neighbors have deteriorated since they acquired a new dog and a new baby. I'm tired of being awakened at 6am every day.
    Anyone recommend some good comfortable earplugs for sleeping?
    Oh and I have Tinnitus that ranges from a low hum to a buzzsaw if that matters.
    Thanks.

    I'd try some cheap foamies first. You can get them at hardware stores and probably CVS/Walgreens. I use them and have pretty severe tinnitus. I've even rolled up pieces of tissue and that worked.

    I've also used the foam plugs to good effect. It did take me a little getting used to but once I did they weren't an issue.

    They didn't help quiet the tinnitus tho.

    John, I use Silencio liquid silicone plugs with noise canceling muffs for shooting. Unfortunately the Silencio jobs are no longer available. I've found these to be a very close equivalent: https://www.earplugstore.com/heartec...ear-trial.html

    What I like about liquid silicone that that it conforms extremely well to your ear without alot of pressure and they can be washed/dried.

    PS The cure for tinnitus is to not care about it. Ask me how I know.

    I wore foam earplugs for 27 years in NYC, sometimes out in the street.

    Ha!
    I got up at 5:30 for 30 years.
    I think I earned a sleep in until 8:00.
