Help needed with volume sensitivity (programming.dev)

My wife and I are both autistic. She has difficulty moderating the volume of her voice, and I'm volume sensitive. So far she's been unable to recognize when I'm having trouble, and I've been unable to stop being so sensitive. :/

I've tried wearing earplugs but I have trouble remembering to keep them in.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce volume from someone when you're sensitive and they're loud without realizing it?

I know most noise cancelling headphones I've used has adjustable levels, so that could be helpful. If it's just a matter of initial loadness that could be adjusted when addressed then headphones with DB cutting off level like welder or machinist use could be useful.
