I've tried various kinds, but the ones that work best hurt too much and I literally cannot wear them. I am a side sleeper, but i don't even think it would work when lying on the back, unless it's without a pillow maybe?
Idk I already sleep in the kitchen/living room, I turn the kitchen exhaust on and put the tv on too. I guess I could put the TV louder but I think then it's too distracting for me.
Their kids literally scream at the top of their lungs throughout the night
They slam their doors really loudly to where the whole apartment shakes
they drop heavy stuff on the ground
On top of it all they also wake up around 7am and then scream across the apartment to each other for at least an hour, ensuring I'm not able to sleep in
Apartments here generally have poor noise insulation, I've lived in several and even in the better ones I still get woken up
I am in Europe though, where do you live that it's hard for apartment neighbours to wake you lol
Edit: the police here don't even track don't people who steal wallets, break in, and assault others if it's caught on camera.. so that's not an option lol. There is a property manager who is also completely useless. I tried bringing a more minor concern up to him and he basically told me to go fuck myself.
On the earplugs front, custom molded earplugs cost a lot, but are amazing for blocking out noise without hurting.
I've heard some people say they're really painful so idk :/
If custom molded earplugs are painful, then something went wrong. They should fit with no pressure but also no gaps. I've slipped while wiggling my set in place, that's the only pain I've had with them
