===Sleep=== Earplugs for sleeping are made to be as comfortable as possible while blocking external sounds that may prevent or disrupt sleep. Specialized earplugs for such noises as a partner's [[snoring]] may have sound-dampening enhancements that enable the user to still hear other noises, such as an alarm clock.<ref name="alpine">[http://www.alpine.nl/EN/consumer_sleeping.htm Alpine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724143539/http://www.alpine.nl/EN/consumer_sleeping.htm |date=2011-07-24 }} - Sleepsoft earplugs</ref> To determine the comfort of earplugs used for sleeping, it is important to try them on while actually lying down. The pressure on the ear between the head and pillow may cause significant discomfort. Furthermore, just tilting the head back or to the side causes significant anatomical changes in the ear canal, mostly a reduction of the ear canal diameter, which may reduce comfort if the earplug is too large. Earplugs for sleeping may enhance recovery after major surgery. <ref name=Menger2018>{{cite journal| title = Earplugs during the first night after cardiothoracic surgery may improve a fast-track protocol.| author = Menger J.|author2= Urbanek B. |author3= Skhirtladze-Dworschak K.| doi = 10.23736/S0375-9393.17.11758-X| pmid = 28726359| journal = Minerva Anestesiologica| year = 2018| volume =84| issue = 1| pages =49β57}}</ref>
