They’re only up to 32db but I sleep with foam uncorded uline laserlite plugs in. Sometimes they irritate my ears but the majority of the time they’re quite comfortable
While we’re on the subject, does anyone happen to know of an earplug that’s rated better than 33 dB attenuation, and one can wear comfortably while sleeping? I know there are types rated for the firing range, but I’d rather only use those when I’m shooting, and over-the-ear types aren’t exactly comfy.

They aren’t perfect and there’s another reason this works better.
Sound “volume” drops off at distance from source squared. Your neighbors might be making a fair bit of noise a meter or two away, but if your headphones make the same at 4cm from your eardrum, your headphones will win every time. The ear plugs serve to act like several more meters of distance. By the time the sound reaches your ear drums, the neighbors’ noise is so low a level it would be completely below the noise floor.
Makes me glad I live in a duplex, and that I can still go to work everyday. A lot of people are getting cabin fever and are going even crazier than they already are.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA They never do anything until someone dies.

Loud shit music taste neighbours and dogs barking all day aren’t any help to a nice quarantine.
Gives you clearer sound, you don’t have to crank the volume, and nobody around you is cursing that you’re being too loud.
In quiet areas noise-canceling earphones work much better, yeah.
As for hearing damage, that’s why you use good earplugs.
Well, I wore those during exam time in the special room (where some ambient chatter may occur) and it worked well for me
Plus, you won’t have to worry about potential hearing loss from blaring your eardrums for too long

Should feel bad - for you, at least. If the police catch wind of you making false reports, you could be in a lot of trouble.
Yeah… Don’t do this. Here at least, telling the cops someone has a gun will get them swatted.
This. Mention that you saw one of ‘em waving a handgun around. Don’t feel bad. Fuck ‘em. They’re horrible people.
Sorry, but I hit my actual breaking point years ago, with a clan of hillbilly druggies living below me. Never again.
