Has anyone found solutions for surviving social noise?
I'm talking about art openings or restaurants, spaces with many voices running at full volume and bouncing off the reflective walls like an autitory torture trampoline
Earplugs don't cut it, they mute everyone equally

I've been taking my morning coffee outside. Snowpants on, perched on a broken plastic adirondack chair for a few minutes.
I get this feeling that I've missed for years. It was one of the hardest things about quitting smoking, years ago. Spending time alone with the morning, every morning.
