hi jaynie, i have a problem with noises at night, snoring is a particular problem for me, i overreact and for a long time i've been trying to figure out if there is some possible connection with some other problem because the way i respond to any kind of breathing noise at night is intense, i come out with hives and have massive panic attacks... its caused a lot of problems in relationships. i started using silicone earplugs, i can't use foam or wax earplugs because they didn't do a very good job or they hurt my ears, so these were the best type i had experience with. some nights i had to go and sleep in a different room entirely, it's not much fun, i feel for you.
