I've tried foam earplugs, but those are impossible to use socially as everything's too muddy. Also they'd end up sliding out eventually.

I eventually bought audiophile grade earplugs and they are FANTASTIC but the flange tips irritate my ears so bad.

I know circumaural headphones work great, but people have a harder time understanding I'm just using them as a filter to even hear them.

+1 for Loop. They have a variety of dB levels and fit super well. I have Eargasm also and they work great but don't fit in my ears as well and hurt after wearing them for hours. No issues at all with Loop.

I have the 16 dB Loop, and I honestly forget I'm wearing them sometimes. They're so comfortable and really work well to take everything down a few notches while still being able to hear.

My partner got some from an Instagram ad. I eventually tried them and they really are great!. My kids are so fucking loud sometimes and the loops reduce the noise just enough so that I don't lose my shit from their shrieking. Got myself a pair right before a road trip and it saved my life.
