I just remembered something. So, it looks like I ran out of my ear plugs. Ahhhh! But, I have another trick that I use to block out sound and that's a loud fan. I put a fan close to me (blowing away from me though) and the rhythmic hum of the sound drowns out my family member. Also, it soothes me and puts me to sleep. I almost can't sleep without it. So, if the ear plugs don't block out everything, add a fan to the mix. (make sure the fan is between you and the noise).
