For those who live with someone who snores, sleep may be something that you are frequently deprived of. Instead of just living with it or trying to ignore it, you may want to consider ear plugs to block out the noise.
It is important to understand that snoring can often be a symptom of other, more serious, medical problems, although that does not make sleeping through what may sound like a jet taking off any easier. Your partner may be aware of the problem, but probably has no control over their middle-of-the-night noise making routine.
Rubber Foam Pillows
The person making the noise probably doesn't require ear plugs for their snoring but their bedmate may choose to wear them to avoid the necessity of sleeping in a separate room. Rather than placing a pillow over your head or worse over the head of the sleeper making the noise, there are several stop snoring devices that may prove effective. Ear plugs are only one option. Since each person's ears may be a little different, slightly different ones may be needed.
Different Designs Block Sounds Differently
The soft spongy type of ear plugs may work well for a lot of people. These are relatively inexpensive, and they may lower the noise level enough to enable the wearer to sleep through the night. The pliable rubber type take on the shape of the internal ear and will eliminate the majority of outside noise, however some wearers find them uncomfortable or find that they allow some noise to enter.
Another design is similar in shape to a small baby bottle nipple, with a small ball on the end. These are said to fit into the ear canal and completely eliminate any noises from the outside, including the loudest snorer. While sleep will not be interrupted by noise, you will want to decide if being asleep and unable to hear any sounds at night is a good idea. If there are young children in the house, hearing them in the middle of the night may outweigh the need to sleep.
Industrial type noise reducing ear plugs are generally made of soft foam for ease and comfort in addition to being moisture resistant and dermatologically safe. They might not really block all of the sounds, however they will dull loud snoring sufficiently to allow for tranquil sleep. Loud noises, like a smoke alarm or fire alarm, will still get through to wake you up. Even the sound of a crying child, since it is generally at a higher pitch, ought to be able to be noticed through a soft foam ear plug for snoring.
If you'd prefer to tackle the snoring issue from the snorer's perspective then our strongest advice would be the use of a snoring chin strap. This can be worn by the snorer when sleeping and is designed to support the jaw in a closed and slightly forward position that is required to prevent the soft palate from falling back in to the airway while asleep. It is often a narrowed airway that is the reason for the noise of snoring.
