I tried earplugs to reduce road noise a few years ago, they start becoming uncomfortable after a minute and i can't handle them. I resorted to stuffinf toilet paper(small crumpled parts).
When there is loud music, it doesn't help anyway because the low-freq noise can't be blocked.
(I am with a sensitive hearing, i can hear whispers from 10m crystal clear and every car on the road without seeing them.)

It's just like your buttplug, it hurts at first but after a week or so you get used to it and don't even notice anymore.

Try foam earplugs that you roll into a tight cylinder and insert. They then expand in the ear blocking sound but not causing pain due to their soft nature. You should certainly stop shoving things into your ears that were not designed for it, little flakes of toilet paper can break off and cause pain in the ear drum. Don't wear them all the time, however, or you risk attaining compacted ear wax which is painful and requires a solvent to be dripped into the ear to remove it. Edited on 28/03/2019 23:56.

I have the same issue. There is some asshole outside my apartment several mornings (5am!!) a week with a very loud leaf blower, presumably blowing rubbish off the street. Also there are delivery trucks that stop outside my window at 5.30am and leave the engine chugging for like 15 minutes while they deliver milk and have gay chats. Ear plugs can't block out that kind of whining hum and vibrating chugging, but it reduces it somewhat which is better than nothing. But I've taken to getting up at 5am and just going to bed earlier since it is so obnoxious. Of course, there is also an alternative bar across the street from my apartment and they regularly have noise music shows blasting until midnight. So it is tricky.

Try white noise instead.

Check youtube for rain on a tent recordings. Very relaxing in comparison to inorganic white noise.

Not until women try white men instead of niggers
