Coping with noise

[MakersDozn]

For those who don't know, we commute to work in Manhattan from the suburbs. We wear earplugs on the train and on the streets of the city. We also wear the earplugs while at the movie theater or at sporting events, neither of which we attend very often.

The earplugs don't block everything out, although sometimes we wish that they did. We don't feel unsafe wearing them because we know that we can still hear, only the noise is reduced rather than eliminated.
