Any particular ones you recommend?
Not OP, but Loop Earplugs works really well for me. They're little plastic earplugs shaped like loops (thus the name) that are shaped to only allow nearby voices to be heard. They even have additional rubber "mutes" that can reduce volume further without removing the ability to hear people talking.
Thank you, I decided to go with the 'engage' ones. We'll see how they do.
not the same original commenter, but I'd definitely recommend Calmer earplugs! I've tried my wife's in a crowded mall, and it doesn't really block the noise, but it just feels magic with how it adjusts everything to be bearable. without them I couldn't hear her talking right next to me with all the other sounds, but with them it was just all so clear.
I also use Calmer! I have both Calmer and the more intense Calmer Nights, and they are both absolutely fantastic. I can still hear what I need to hear, they just.... take the edge off. I love how discreet they are too.
