I'm afraid i won't hear the alarm.

The tinnitus becomes more apparent as well if i use ear plugs to sleep.

I don't, but my dad does, because my late night typing on Talkbass can apparently "be heard right throughout the house"

I've just adapted to the constant hum in my ear.

I have done when all my housemates have had their girlfriends/boyfriends visit or when I'm trying to sleep off a particularly bad hangover.

Ah, but I find the tinnitus easier to deal with than my wife's snoring. Man, she goes through some knotty wood sometimes!

I'm also doing this, with one exception.. on the mornings I have appointments or rehersals, I'll wear just one ear plug, that way I won't miss hearing the alarm from the cellphone.

Good, green soft foam. I rotate several pairs so they won't wear out and so clean ones will always be available.

I'm just the opposite, I sleep with one of these bad boys on high:



No, not for the air, but for the sound of it. Slept with one ever since I was little because my parents did, and the rest of my family does too. Sleeping and hearing dull silence just sucks. I sleep to the roar of a fan. And I'm sure plenty of other people on here do this too, it's actually more common than you think.

I keep a pair next to my bed for the mornings when my parents walk and talk loudly all over the house.

I can basically sleep through anything. I slept through a tornado tearing through town once.

I rock a loud computer fan and a loud humidifier fan too every day and night.

Hell no.
Tinnitus says "HELLO" when I put earplugs in.

So I have an air purifier running in the room.

I sleep with plugs and my wife has the fan on. We are considering one of those noise generators (water sounds, rain, wind). With the plugs in all I hear is a low hum from the fan.

It could be dangerous to sleep with earplugs. If you have a fire, you might not hear your smoke alarm. People also break in houses, it wouldn't be fun to wake up with someone standing over you or all your gear gone.

I can't sleep with it quiet, so I leave the TV on.

I sleep with headphones on. Not earbuds, headphones. My playlist goes on all night as I sleep.
