yup, can't wear em for long, they make my head feel "hot and stuffy". i definitely cannot sleep with them in. I can wear them for brief periods for noise abatement, but i prefer protective earmuffs for that
They make me entirely too aware of the sounds that happen within my head I don’t notice as much without the ear plugs. It’s why I can’t wear in-ear headphones. Also I feel like I’m suffocating slightly.
Can’t take the foam plugs anymore but I started wearing the silicone ones and it’s so much better for me. That said it’s still irritating to my tinnitus.

Either case, you can try pulling out the plugs a little bit to allow inner ear pressure to equalize with the outside. That's what I do.
