Sleep buds can help us rest in noisy environments, and help with tinnitus. Purpose-made buds are better for bed than AirPods etc. Sleep buds—like the new Anker Sound Core Sleep A20—are earbuds designed to help you sleep, by cutting out exterior noise, and/or generating some kind of noise-masking sound. They can also include sleep- and health-tracking features, which can be helpful to diagnose sleep problems, but could possibly lead to even more anxiety as we seek to make our sleep more productive. Sleep buds might also generate white noise, or similarly bland sound, to drown out external sounds, and also to mask tinnitus.
