At an old job I used to listen to music through one earbud. One day I could barely hear anything out of it and I was cleaning wax routinely. Turns out it was totally clogged and got it all flushed out.
It could be worth checking that out, dropping the volume a little, and maybe trying on-ear headphones.
Alternatively, I play sleep sounds out of my phone speaker and set a 2 hour timer on them.
