I wish I could use them, but my tinitis at that point is the only sound so my brain amplifies the sound and is damn near impossible to sleep.

And what does this CO2 detector do exactly? It beeps when I breathe out or what?

Here's a better question do you like being alive? Get a CO2 detector then idiot.

What for? I'm especially curious about CO2 (I assume you mean CO?) detector. Where would CO come from in a building that has nothing that works using flames?

Every building needs smoke detectors and CO2 detectors.

Thanks. Not everybody lives in a type of building you do, so not everybody needs the same things you need.

Godspeed, friend.
Edit: Actually, I'm curious about your intransigence. You described where you lived as "the building". Is it a single family residence? Or an apartment building? How is it heated? Does it have an attached garage? Does it get cold where you are? Are you the only person in the building?
Edit2: I was being hyperbolic when I asked if you were crazy. Apologies. No offense intended.

Why would I need CO detector? There is no device in my whole building that generates CO. Also there is such a little chance of a fire happening spontaneously in my apartment that what is even the point of smoke detector? To beep at me when I grill steak?

Don't use them unless it is necessary, like a party at the neighbours - or otherwise you'll end up needing them every night to sleep with, even more soundsensitive than before.

Are you crazy?
Don't buy earplugs then, go buy smoke/CO detectors. Right now.

This is a lifestyle change, I use earplugs to sleep and now I need them for routine sleep which kind of sucks if I run out/forget them on a trip. Weirdly though I only need them for quiet times, I can fall asleep easily with music or the TV on but that isn’t considerate for my partner. Someday I may move to a white noise machine.

I thinks good sleep hygiene is much more important than a small chance of not hearing smoke detector. Especially for me, since there isn't a single smoke detector in the building I live in.

I live in a newly renovated house, our smoke alarms also flash and I can hear them just fine even with 33db earplugs in.

That only happened to me with foam earplugs. You can easily clean the ones made from silicone.

You can hear the smoke detector through earbuds - like sirens etc outlined in the OP's post

I don’t have the energy for it but it might be a good idea to start a sub based on putting hospital overcharges in check.. protect the weak, the sick, and the elderly
