Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Block Noise In a Dorm?

First time accepted submitter zmitch32 writes "I live in a dorm, and I have ADHD, so every little noise distracts me. I know this annoyance isn't limited to those with ADHD, so how does everyone else block out the noise? I can't really cover my walls in soundproof foam because I live in a dorm. I can't just listen to music because I find it too interesting and just end up getting distracted by it. I use ear plugs to block out small noises, but they don't block out human voices very well at all. What do you guys/gals recommend?"

Get over it.
You're in the lowest-cost, lowest-responsibility living arrangement available in the first world short of living in your mom's basement. If you want privacy and quiet, you'll have to pay more or find a sugar daddy. So finish school and get a job where you can afford to live among a higher class of people. Climb the ladder and make more money and move into better accommodations as your income increases. That's how life works.
