Can you sleep with earbuds in?
I often listen to music or audiobooks to fall asleep, and sometimes I just leave my earbuds in all night. Is it generally okay for my ears and health to sleep with earbuds in regularly, or are there any risks involved?

I totally get it, listening to some music or white noise helps so much when you can't fall asleep. But honestly, sleeping with hard plastic earbuds can really hurt your outer ear after a few hours. Try switching to a soft headband speaker if you can.
Haan yaar, you can sleep with them, but avoid doing it regularly na. Pain hone lagta hai subah tak and continuous sound is also not good for the brain. Keep the volume very low if you really have to do it.
It is better to avoid sleeping with in-ear buds because they block air circulation, which can lead to moisture buildup and fungal infections. If you really need sound to sleep, use a phone speaker on a timer instead. Keep your ears dry and healthy.
I also wanted to know this because I fall asleep listening to podcasts. Doesn't it hurt when you roll over on your side? I am too scared that the bud might go too deep inside my ear while sleeping.
I used to sleep with my wireless buds in every night, but I woke up one morning with a very sore ear canal and temporary muffled hearing. Now I just play soft music on my bedside table. It is much more comfortable for me.

Beta, please don't sleep with these plastic things inside your ears. It is not natural and can block the air. If you need some calm, just listen to some peaceful bhajan or flute music on your phone kept a little away from your bed.
