    Hello :hello:

    I've copied my post from another thread about earplugs and noise.
    Hi OP :hello:

    You have my sympathy - I'm hugely sensitive to noise and it can make my life miserable if I'm not careful.
    I'm still learning to deal with it but one thing I recommend if you don't use them already is earplugs. I spent a number of months trying out all the earplugs I could find to see which ones worked best. There are lots of different types/sizes etc.
    Snorestore sell sample packs of earplugs so you can try out a few different kinds.
    I now use these:
    Quies Solos
    Quies

    Other sellers are available :cool:

    These are no good for sleeping in but for cutting out daytime noise I also got a pair of these:

    They come highly recommended :D

    I think terraces are as hit and miss as flats with regard to noise. Some are well built and sound proofed and you have quiet neighbours while others have thin walls and neighbours who want to play Tom Jones very loud until 3am every night :eek:

    Dont take it personally, the quote you refer to here is just malicious, ignore it
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    Ah I thought bioears were supposed to be the best.

    Thanks I'll give these a try too.

    Im always concerned about not hearing tjd alarm with plugs on, which doesn't help me getting to sleep sometimes when I need to use them

    I guess it's what works best for you, I have tried loads, and these are best by far.

    Don't expect them to block out all noise, as nothing can do that, as your body amplifies sound too, they block it just enough for you to get to sleep and not be woken up by loudish noises.

    Check out a youtube vid to make sure you fit them correctly as that helps them stay in all night and block the max noise.

    Don't worry you will hear your alarm
