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

    I used to do the same thing in college at parties, though with ear plugs. Super helpful and made being there so much more enjoyable. Most people never brought it up. Some were curious about it and would ask; one would experiment by talking really quietly and I could still hear him fine. And I’ve only had a few who were big enough assholes to pull them out of my ear without asking me. So be wary of people like that. They’re rare, but they exist.
