Dealing with Sensory Overload in Public

I recently started using some over ear headphones in situations that are appreciated, or even ear plugs which are more discreet. I would also suggest looking into loop ear plugs, they are designed to just reduce noise levels so you can still hear and don't look like traditional ear plugs. If those aren't options I find something to fidget with or close my eyes to eliminate one of my senses. Being sick from it sucks! I hope you can find something to help.
