I've been experimenting with putting headphones on (not playing music, just blocking noise) in situations where there is a lot of noise and it kinda helps! Although, apparently it's not considered "socially acceptable" to wear headphones while singing along with a group of people at a youth event lol. (I did explain it to the person who was playing the music though and he said he didn't even notice and could tell I was enjoying myself so I guess I'm good)

P.S. I don't know if this is the kind of post we do in this community. I just felt like mentioning it

Loop makes earplugs designed to do this. They have different models, like their Experience one is designed for going to concerts that are too loud, but you still want to be able to hear the music properly, just quieter. Or Engage let's you hear voices, but it helps block out background noises. They're pretty discreet and most people won't notice you're wearing them in my experience.

I just looked them up. They seem cool but at that price I might as well pay the extra $20-30 to get noise cancelling earbuds. Thanks for the tip though!

I wanted so badly to like these, and tried multiple models, but the sound of having something in my ear throws me off. I can do noise canceling earbuds in passthrough mode, though. I don't understand it.
