What are the best ear plugs to cancel out snoring ? Can’t cope anymore

[Grapefruitbreakfast]

Before me and dh will need to sleep separately permanently

I use a snoozeband and play white noise to drown out DH snoring

snoozebands just looked them up on Amazon
do they have to go over your eyes ?
just I have issues with my eyes

could I put it on my forehead ?

Yes the basic one can be worn as a headband (it's the one I have)

I use these silicone ones: www.snorestore.co.uk/acatalog/insta-putty-earplugs.html#SID=7

Boots mouldable wax earplugs

I think the ones I got were Loop earbuds the quiet ones. They were recommended on here and did work well to block DH snoring.

I have these and they work well, but I hate that they are disposable. So much rubbish for the planet. I use each pair for weeks until they stop working, but plan to move to more sustainable ones like Loop when I run out.

Forgot the link!

I don’t think any earplug is going to work with that close proximity. I use the wax ear ones for neighbour noise, having tried all sorts and whilst they do drown out a lot of the noise, no way would they work on somebody laying next to me snoring! I think separate rooms is the only option 😁

SnoreStore do sample packs so you can see which ones suit you best. I found the wax ones weren't great with long hair ...

Would he go to GP to see if they will investigate the cause of the snoring?

I use earplugs and we have separate rooms.

Thank you to the ladies on this thread I have ordered from snorestore

Ps op you have my sympathies I'm in same boat

I use Loop Quiet. Doesn't block out completely, just enough to dull the worst of it so I can still hear my son if he cries in the night, and comfortable to sleep in. However if you need total blackout and no small person to worry about, go for Bose sleepbuds. Expensive but they work (white noise)

What has the snorer done to deal with the problem?

Been dealing with snoring for 9 years. I'm so sorry OP but I'm in the spare bed, nothing worked. No gadgets or snore blocker ear plugs, not even aviation ear plugs worked. I wear ear plugs in the spare bed and can still hear them.

Snoring is vile. It brings out the true feelings of your partner, I hate that you can break your heart crying to them saying it's upsetting and not okay for them health wise and for your relationship and they don't give a fuck because it doesn't affect them. Chronic snorers are usually quite selfish in nature as well.

I think a lot of them are in denial. DH started snoring and it just got worse and worse. I used to kick him awake every time. Then he started with sleep apnoea so I insisted he saw the GP. His sleep apnoea was so bad that he was having 50 non breathing episodes an hour. He now has a CPAP machine.

Separate rooms is bliss.

Wow. What a totallt unreasonable and unhelpful generalisation

Nothing works. Tried everything. Separate rooms is best.

I second a sleep study. Snoring can be a sign of all sorts of bigger problems.

Bose ear buds

I always suggest a trip to the GP for the snorer. DH used to think he couldn't help snoring - but he could! He just had to find out what the root cause was.

After years of trying, I've had success with silicone ear plugs. I use half a one for each ear, roll it into a cone shape with quite long narrow part. Push it in as far as comfortable. Press all around the edge to flatten against my ear to really seal it.

Boot Muffles earplugs. I have to break a bit off and warm it in my hand - have been using them for 15 years as I am such a light sleeper - they changed my life, i never ever sleep without them now.
