    TL;DW:

    • Old fashioned earplugs and passive headphones are good
    • Electric headphones are bad as they generate feedback - worse than nothing
    • Riot shields combined with earplugs/headphones are great
    • Flip a riot shield around to reflect the sound back and target the operator. If you aim right it’ll get worse for the operator than for you

      That last one sound the least plausible, but most karmically appropriate tactic.

      But basically tldw is: Earplugs or better passive hearing protection.
