Marija, you really ARE my daughter!
I can't wear 'em either. Even the smallest little earbuds hurt my ears after just a short time. I've worn earplugs sometimes when really necessary, but I just can't do it for very long, certainly not overnight. I used to be on the swim team in high school and didn't even like that wax in my ears!
P.S. I am NOT nearly as messed up an individual as it is starting to sound like I am. Yes, I'm an introvert with ADHD, OCD, misophonia, hearing loss and very sensitive ears. Oh, and diverticulitis, might as well throw that one out there too. And bad knees. And horrible eyesight, and more "floaters" than my eye doctor has ever seen in one individual. And OCD, did I mention that??

Oh, and chronic depression, though that's been almost completely under control for several years now--except when it's winter, because then I have SAD on top of the depression (Seasonal Affective Disorder). And the occasional anxiety attack.
But other than that, I am a PERFECTLY normal individual.
