Annoyed by car noise - ear plugs?

[Username]

I'm still using my first wax plugs when sleeping. They still work, however because they aren't sticky enough now, they are much less effective in blocking sounds.

I ordered foam plugs similar to those - they seem to be safer. Mine are going to be green. As far as I know pink/yellow ones have much larger diameter and might be only suitable if you have big ear canals.

Leo made me buy foam earplugs but there is an issue with wearing them. They will block not only noised but it will make impossible to listen to music or use YouTube for work, cooking or whatever.

Here are two solutions:

- using bone conduction headphones

- using closed headphones as an ear protection. Sometimes I wear them, even if they are completely off (no ANC).
