Sidenote but still, I put ear plugs for 5 years already. It doesn't hurt, you don't feel anything, but it helps tremendously to stay asleep. Better than trying to fix your environment.
I even heard of people going to sleep with airpods pro in their ear.
Now that it's fixed tho my body decided I would need to pee every night about 2 hours after I went to bed... La vieillesse est un naufrage.
I'd never go to sleep with AirPods in intentionally.
I had a scare in the very early days of owning AirPod Pros accidentally falling asleep with them, and waking up with tinnitus that took hours to go away.
Since then with every gen I've occasionally had ANC malfunction when they come in contact with a pillow and make some deafening noises, I wouldn't be surprised if that day they had been making some horrible shrieking noise while I slept.
(in fact, as if to mock me, I left this comment unsent realizing I didn't care enough to finish it, until my AirPod Maxes decided to flashbang me for having the audacity to while lying on my back. people need to know these things are treacherous in bed)
At times, when my SO is snoring, I just put my overhead headphones, turn on noise cancelling, put some gentle music on and lay on my back until I fall asleep.
Not exactly great, but does the job.
Using ear plugs in the past caused infections as I have curved ear canals.
