this sounds weird, but I got a cheap set of active noise-cancelling protective headphones, the kind with the microphones in them so you can still hear like normal but block out the harmful decibels. And they’ve only shown me that I need hearing aids, the clarity I hear now while wearing them brought a tear to my eye, I forgot birds chirped like that.

also, PSA, protect your hearing. Just do it, earplugs are cheap.
