What's worse for a mate, loud snorer or loud eater?

If he was a loud snorer...we'd just sleep in separate rooms. Loud eaters absolutely freak me out and are one of my pet peeves.

Have these people ever had jobs or children? If you wear earplugs, how are you going to hear a crying baby, or the alarm clock?

I can hear the alarm clock just fine. It may ring longer (I've no way of knowing), but I hear it.

Probably something about the pitch and caliber of the noise is distinguished between the rumble of a snore and a piercing wail of a kid or shrill alarm clock.

Anyway, I can't wear earplugs. Tried half a dozen kinds. Some people have very small ears ("mouse ears" as mine are termed) and plugs hurt.
