What are some options for those who have a snoring spouse?

My husband has snored for as long as he can remember. In the beginning of our relationship it was more bearable. Lately (the past several months) it seems to be magnified. I wear ear plugs to muffle it a bit. I manage to eventually fall asleep to the noise but throughout the night I end up losing one or both of the plugs and I’m awaken by the snoring until I can blindly search for my lost ear plugs. There’s been times that he ends up sleeping on the couch because it’s so bad.

He’s tried many things to reduce the snoring but nothing has made any kind of impact. We run a humidifier in our bedroom as it is very dry now that the heat is on. He uses nose strips every night. He props his pillow up and sleeps on his side. He doesn’t smoke and rarely drinks. He avoids dairy before bed. He has tried sinus medication also. Nothing has worked.

With a new baby on the way we are worried about her sleeping in our bedroom because of the snoring issue. I know babies can sleep through a lot but I can’t imagine this not being disruptive. Our son even wakes up from it sometimes and he’s in a different bedroom with the door shut! When I say his snoring is loud, I mean train wreck loud.

What are some solutions to this? Are we going to end up being one of the married couples who have 2 separate bedrooms? Are there medications for this? Is it a health problem that his snoring is this intense? It doesn’t seem right! It sounds like he’s constantly struggling to get enough air and it truly sounds painful. I can’t imagine how he gets any rest while breathing that heavily. Any suggestions or solutions are appreciated.
