First off, let me know if this isn’t the right place for something like this but wanted to see about advice

I live in a rural area so it’s normally not a problem, but I had a friend recently get married and had a big event. That was all good but I had to leave early cause all the music and talking got too much for me.

Is there anything I can do about that, all the noise and all or do I just leave when I’m good?

      I got a real problem with earplugs/buds for whatever reason, they fit weird in my ears and end up uncomfortable

      • Earbuds and earplugs have always fucked with me, but the loop ones are great because you can tuck the loop behind one of the folds in your ear. For me, this meant I didn’t have to stick the plug nearly as far in for it to stick and I could hear ambient noise better while still getting the reduction in volume.

          Not a bad idea, don’t know that I’ve tried the loop ones before, thanks

        You really ought to try out a few styles and insertion techniques because there’s no substitute.

        I bring some anywhere there’s live music or a bar. They protect against damage but I can still appreciate the music, and even hear people near me talk *better * than without them.
