I wear loop earplugs but I agree they have an echoy effect (one of the things I use them for is extended family gatherings, and eating with them is an interesting and not always plesant experience.
I also use andrea active noise cancelling headphones…
Hi, I'd definitely recommend earplugs, tinted glasses and maybe going earlier or later when there are less people around. I think I also heard that some shops have autism hours now for people with sensory issues... I've been using Nuheara hearing buds…

No problem, I was diagnosed with ASC and meet some of the criteria for autism, and have a job and live on my own. I'm also looking into getting tested for auditory processing disorder as I have some issues with my hearing - though my ears are fine,…
My ears also produce gunk in the night so I sleep in ear defenders rather than earplugs, which is proving much more successful. If I have really bad sleep for a few nights than I take a (first generation, drowsy type) antihistamine before bed which knocks…
