Comment on I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.

  No, that would be the opposite. The noise captured and muddled in the shell is what gives the effect of hearing the ocean. Lose your ears and you remove some of that echo chamber.

    But, shells are sharp and wearing them that way is going to slice your ears off, anyway.

      Shells have edges, but I’ve never seen one that’s sharp. I think this shower thought more implies the shells are stored off you face and there’s a buffer between skin and shell, butt one could also get shells large enough to go over the ear.

        The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they're big enough to fit over your ears, and weren't caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.

      OP wants powerless ocean sounds like what shells do when you put them to your ear. You know this is the intent because it was clearly stated in the post. You chose to be snarky anyways. Classic reddit commenter mindset
