What earplugs do y'all recommend? My sensory issues putting things in my ears makes most of them unpleasant for me. (tucson.social)

I've tried foam earplugs, but those are impossible to use socially as everything's too muddy. Also they'd end up sliding out eventually.

I eventually bought audiophile grade earplugs and they are FANTASTIC but the flange tips irritate my ears so bad.

I know circumaural headphones work great, but people have a harder time understanding I'm just using them as a filter to even hear them.

I use Ear Peace. They have a variety of types and come with a handy case so they're always on my person.
