First off, let me know if this isn't the right place for something like this but wanted to see about advice
I live in a rural area so it's normally not a problem, but I had a friend recently get married and had a big event. That was all good but I had to leave early cause all the music and talking got too much for me.
Is there anything I can do about that, all the noise and all or do I just leave when I'm good?
finding a nearby refuge you can retreat to and come back as needed is maybe an option, stepping outside to get some air, going to a quieter corner/room, etc.
Also musicians earplugs! I use them for concerts but I expect they would help with this too. They're meant to reduce the sound level by a certain dbm, not block it entirely or muddle it. They have a little filter element in them to attenuate the sound. Trap that I fell into when I first tried them though, don't press them into your ear too far! then they get squeezed shut and just act like a regular earplug. I've got some cheap silicone "Rave" branded ones that work fine for me
Top part, thats what I usually do just head outside or wherever till I can handle more. I noticed I can usually only stay for shorter and shorter periods till I have to go
I got some issues with ear buds/plugs and look a bit goofy with full headsets but those musician ones sounds pretty cool, any specific brands or anything like that?
I just have these cheap ones (or at least I thought they were cheaper when I bought them lol): https://www.ebay.com/itm/404105919689 but maybe some of the other options would be more up your alley idk
