Ear plugs don't work
DH has been sleeping in another room for months
Doctor says to drink less & lose weight.
DH says he's going to do this.
He's not doing it.
Would noise cancelling headphones work maybe?
Am really fed up of this 😔

A snoring one

My ex's snoring killed our relationship. It was the main reason - because he didn't give enough of a shit about me to even attempt to sort it out.
I feel for you OP, I stuck it out for way too long and ended up hating and deeply resenting my ex. You need to be really clear with your DH that your relationship is in jeopardy because of the snoring and that he needs to start sorting it now.

Bluetooth sleeping mask with built in headphones. I play thunderstorms and rain.
They don't block the noise out but they give me something else to listen to.

DH could snore sitting up, and however he slept didn't reduce the volume. He never sleeps on his front. I was absolutely ready to leave him at one point. I get that he was asleep while it was happening and he had no control over it but it was very stressful for me. No spare room (and he'd have been really upset if I'd slept in another room - although had it been an option I'd have considered it!) so I tried my best to get to sleep before he came to bed as my best chance to get a good night's sleep.
He lost a LOT of weight in the first lockdown after I told him strongly I thought he needed to see the doctor about his health - surprisingly he went (v medical help averse normally) and got a pre-t2 diabetes diagnosis. So for the first time ever he dieted and lost stones and stones. Which did have the result that his snoring and (worse) his apnoeia stopped. Thank God!
