A pair of high fidelity earplugs (aka concert earplugs or filtering earplugs). You can get a good non-custom pair for $15–$40, and that’ll work well for the average person for a long time.
They’re excellent for live music, airplanes, and anytime you want the world to be quieter but still need to be able to understand speech. And for music specifically, they can bring the volume level down just enough to be safe without muffling the sound like traditional foam earplugs do. Protect your hearing, kids!
I got some of these and they are excellent
Comfy enough to use for sleeping?
You can buy earplugs made specifically for this purpose that stick out less so you can lie down
I'm sure you could with these, but I would advise against it because smoke alarms.
