The absolute best gadget over 20 years of trying out ways to let my wife listen while I hear nothing has been SleepPhones. Readily available, e.g. Amazon. A soft fabric headband containing flat speakers. The speakers are removable so that the headband can be washed. The speakers sit right on the ear, but are so flat they are comfortable even if you sleep on your side with your ear on the pillow. Worth every penny.

[EDIT: One more case of I should read to the end before commenting! Just take it as another vote for sleepphones.]
They look as if they could double as a sleep blindfold. In any case. I just ordered one, as I just discovered a few minutes ago that Amazon Now delivers to my zip code. They claim a delivery speed of one hour. We'll see. It's 11:30 as I write this.

One-hour delivery is the good news. The bad news is that Prime Now cost an extra $7.99 for delivery, plus a recommended tip of $5.00 for the driver. But that's not too shoddy if you absolutely HAVE to have something NOW and don't feel like making the trip to the Mall yourself.
