Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.
My brother's wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I'm around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don't have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.
