I have to wear earplugs at night or I would never get to sleep. I'm slightly envious of my partially deaf hubby who can snooze at the drop of a hat and external noises never seem to bother him. Not only do I have to block out his snoring, I have to block off any other noises, such as cars, people outside and wailing cats (usually our own). We live on a quiet street, so maybe any noises seem louder because of that . I also can't sleep if the landing light has been left on by kids, the sliver of light under the door annoys me so much even with my eyes closed that I have to get up and switch it off. I don't take sleeping pills, thankfully I don't need any. But I sure go through a load of earplugs!
I don't wear ear plugs cause I hate the feel of them in my ears but I do put my blanket over my head to block out any other sounds like cars and my family who usually stay up until early. At night every thing sounds v loud to me not sure if that's asd or if at night every thing sounds louder and more irritating.
I have the same problems with things in my ear canal. I was recently diagnosed with partial hearing loss and now have two hearing aids, but I cannot wear them, as having them in my ear canal is unbearable.
