I carry cheap foam disposable earplugs with me everywhere - very useful in loud environments. They don't cut out all sounds, they just take off a lot of the higher frequencies and lower the overall volume. They sell bags of them in Screwfix - £1 for 5…
What is the best hearing protection for blocking high-pitched sounds, like children's voices? Nothing that goes in the ear canal please unless there is a kids' size option - most earplugs don't physically fit inside my ears. Not looking for something…
I use Hearprotek earplugs. Yes, they're technically for concerts, but they are what I started on (for a concert) (I have trouble buying new products because what if I don't like them?) and they work for what I need them for. I use them for mainly youth…

Me too. It wasn't too bad when I went to bed so I didn't put earplugs in. Then I was woken around 4am by very loud and severe wind noise. The constant noise makes me very anxious.
I'm now sat at my desk with my noise cancelling headphones on. Wind…
