Teacher is overstimulated by loud, dysregulated students and needs earplugs that reduce noise but allow conversing, and is dissatisfied with current over-ear headphones that can't be used when kids are present.

Over-ear headphones are too isolating for use with students; in-ear options cause discomfort; no product perfectly balances noise reduction with situational awareness for classroom use.
