I wore an ear plug in one ear (now I can't even remember which but probably the left) when I went to bed and I listened to my own heartbeat. Fortunately (?!) my hearing has regressed a little from four years ago, (though possibly improved from 18 months ago!) and we think I got used to my tinnitus that I don't need anything at night any more. And this time Jill told me to not rely on earplugs. <br /><br />Unless, ahem, B snores badly. <br /><br />And I have a superb lavender cream thing I use on my wrists; they smell wonderful, and again, like Discworld, I've trained myself to fall asleep when I smell that salve, so though it may not happen immediately or always, it does the job most of the times. Some nights, just looking at the tiny jar helps. And then there is the mountain of failsafe art books under the bed!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254015.post-28148725003196271472012-07-11T01:04:29.089+12:002012-07-11T01:04:29.089+12:00Meg,

But I find I don't sleep well at night because part of me is still "listening". <br />I discovered that the orange soft plastic ear plugs that shooters use at the range blocks just enough of the tiny sounds I am "hearing" that I can go right to sleep and wake rested in the morning. <br />I can still hear louder noises and can hear if someone speaks to me. They are soft and don't hurt my ears.<br />They come in a little clear plastic box and don't cost much. They last forever or until you lose them.<br />http://www.sweatband.com/head-silicone-ear-plug.html shows a product shaped like mine. I have tried all sorts but this shape works best for me.<br />Hope this helps.<br />Vicki Allen, weaverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
