What kind of earplugs should I use?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:@Ponderer983 I used to wear plugs prior to the purchase of my white noise alarm clock. What I did to be able to hear everything I needed to was first, I cut the foam plugs in half and just put a bit in my ears. Next, once I figured out I mainly slept with my head to one side, I just put the ear plug in the ear theat wasn’t on the pillow. You’ll need to creatively figure out what will work best for you.
