I feel everything in this thread SO HARD. Tbh I thought I was the only one so it’s cool to know others exist (but so sorry you have to feel this too). It wouldn’t be safe or acceptable in EVERY situation, but on airlines I found it helpful to buy a large pair of over-the-ear headphones and then pair them with a set schedule of high density earplugs like one would use for hearing protection at a shooting range. Then turn the headphones up to their loudest setting, preferably with music that has a lot of bass tones. It drowns out *most* of the horrendous screams to a level where my body doesn’t feel like it’s being continuously stabbed.
