I’m condemned to a week-long meeting soon, and it makes me want to put a shotgun in my mouth to even think about it. What can I do to make it more bearable?

    Bone conduction headphones, music of your choice. Only you can hear the music, and you can still hear everyone else around you as your ears aren’t covered.

      I didn’t know this was a thing. It it good for loud environments that make you crazy too? Don’t suppose noise reduction factors it. I still might consider those just for this application, though.

        I’d say so. Having some ambient or instrumental music to occupy my mind a bit makes things less overwhelming. But its not going to block out an airplane or anything.

        You can always use them with earplugs, though.
