It sounds like you live with quite a few flat mates or family! Long term, it might be worthwhile to find a place with just one other human, at least one other introverted human :) I've had flatmates who've used chemically scented candles, air fresheners, cleaning products and it is incredibly difficult to attempt to explain the physical reaction I get from them. But I grew up in a house like you've described, my mother needed everything on all the time. It was too much.
Headphones and ear plugs are temporary solutions. I love this company for ear plugs https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protection.html But too much happening at home makes it incredibly difficult to focus or unwind or read... white noise can help cancel out sound as well. I find field recordings of birds or the ocean or rain (natural 'noise') can help as a range of frequencies mask sound better.
