I Need to Vent

These earplugs are terrible! I don't even think they are being that loud... I have a paper to finish and my roommate is here tonight. Probably one of the few nights of the week she'll be here. I'm too tired/stressed for this today! :(

Does anyone have recommendations on earplugs that will keep even the slight drone of the TV out? The walls are thin, but it's in another room and sometimes (most times) if there is a hint of sound I can't focus well or at all.
