And most of the time, these kinds of events have time for conversation and eating before the music starts. When the music starts people want to dance and have a good time. People need to realize that and shouldn't think that they are going to control the entire audience because of their overly sensitive hearing.

Sorry that ear plugs are uncomfortable for you. There are several different types available including soft foam. If it's a big issue for you, you can look into having custom fit earplugs made for you.
