Get some of the muffler things for building sites. One of my previous workspaces had a couple of these siting around.

A colleague of mine used them at a previous job.

I started wearing them too because they work well but also as a passive aggressive FU to whoever designed these open office floor plans (the ear protectors are usually bright colors like yellow so there is no mistaking them for headphones)

We’re treated like assembly line workers in more and more companies anyway so why not also start wearing the PPE that goes with it?
