One of those least-worst choices?
What if the intensity was modulated as a function of the dB of externally sourced sounds?
The conclusion is:
> The results, the researchers said, suggest not only that earplugs—which are used by as many as 16% of Americans to sleep—are likely effective, but also that the overall health effects of pink noise and other types of broadband noise “sleep aids” need to be studied more thoroughly.
