Also, #earplugs are fantastic, and if I'm the old guy at the concert to say that, then so be it!
I've been avoiding my #earplugs for a while, since they seemed to be clogging up my ears. This morning, I put them in again, and the sudden peace I feel is bliss.
I hadn't realized how much strain all the noise was putting on my ears. It was clogging up my head much faster than the earplugs.

@douginamug Do yourself a favor and get #earplugs for about 30-50€ which usually come with a decent transport box.
Those are so much better than the usual 30 Cent foam thingies where you only hear low frequencies.
Unfortunately, it was only a couple of months ago that I've learned about them. So many #music #concerts would have been a dramatically better experience in sound. 😔
Wenn man sehr reiz- und geräuschsensibel ist, die Nachbarn jedes Wochenende Musik spielen und die Decken 60er Jahre mäßig dünn sind.

I bought three essential products for my upcoming trip to Madrid. One arrived today. This small orange box of Loop Engage Plus #earplugs fit well. I plan on using them to cut noises on the plane and in large outdoor markets on busy days. They feel easier to wear than AirPods.
I’ve been eying them for a while. Im excited to see what other spaces these help me in.

I managed to get my new Amethyst ear plug in this morning, it was a little bit of a stretch and boy did it sting when it popped in but it looks awesome 🥰 #earplugs
Update if you're in #Malaysia and have #ADHD or would just like an earplug recommendation: last time I mentioned Loop #earplugs (which is from EU), we found out that while there's a Shopee local storefront much of the products is marked sold out. anyway today I was looking again for my bestie, and apparently the active storefront is on #Lazada: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.UCy3Z
I especially recommend the Engage Pro or the Experience Plus for an all-rounder set, depending on your needs.

Road noise makes blood pressure rise, study finds
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-65089611
Being an #Introvert - we tend to value peace & quiet - I'm certain any unnecessary noise makes my blood pressure rise.
These days, I wear #EarPlugs when walking along roads and in areas busy with people. I try to avoid such areas as much as possible.

In 1969, four baby elephants were introduced to Windsor Safari Park near Heathrow airport, but the planes were so loud it caused the babies to stampede. There could be only one solution: elephant earmuffs.

I recently got a pair of loop engage #earplugs and have given them a test run at work - they worked well for me!
I'm at a small startup and we have a common room that a) has concrete floors 2) is large enough that people feel they can whisper to each other on the side and 3) is poorly sound-insulated from the conference room. I wore them to a couple meetings in there, and they helped me focus immensely. I could still clearly hear everyone who was presenting speak, but the background noise was strongly reduced.
I also wore them when I was presenting - when I talk it feels a bit like I have a head cold, and I'm not 100% sure I have the right voice volume, but it felt far closer to normal than any other earplugs. I do find them a bit itchy after a half hour though.
Just thought other sound-sensitive folks might like to hear about my experience!
Definitely do this from time-to-time with my earbuds (Sony LinkBuds S) when I'm trying to concentrate.
