Other than move to France where people tend to quietly enjoy their meals I can offer no suggestion. In my experience restaurants are obnoxiously loud all over America. The older I get, with some hearing loss (but not yet enough to require a hearing aid according to my otologist) the less I am able to tolerate it.
