I'm reminded of the curiously named exploding head syndrome, described as a condition in which a person experiences unreal noises that are loud and of short duration when falling asleep or waking up.

Nah, that’s just my wife coughing again, at over 100db. I’ve measured it.

And yes, she does seem to do it right in my ear. My 32db NRR earplugs help bring that down to a tolerable level, but only when I’m wearing them. And I can’t wear them 24x7.
