A couple years ago, I noticed I started developing minor hearing problems (mild tinitius, constantly asking my friends to repeat themselves), as a result of going to LOTs of concerts. I've been using ear protection now for the past 2 years and it's almost magical how I've been able to go to concerts more frequently (e.g., over 150 so far in 2019) without my hearing growing worse.
It's not the same as having neurological sensitivities, but if toning down loud music without muting it out is the goal, I gotchu covered. I've found that as long as you buy high def silicone earplugs, most brands are more-or-less equally effective but vary in comfort. Stay away from the cheap foam ones or those packs of 5 for $10 - they will either do nothing or block everything. I like the flanged style because it's easier to adjust to personal taste.
I personally use Pine Sounds HD earplugs. They are one of several brands that offer pairs of flanged earbuds, one with a light filter and one with regular filter (the difference in blocking power is usually like 5-10 dB). I use the light filters for outdoor shows and find I can usually still converse with people with them in. The regular filters are great for louder events, but I have to take them out to hear the person next to me talk between sets. This particular product also comes with accessories to help you avoid losing your earbuds, which I am personally prone to do, especially considering how small they are.
I refreshed before posting and sure enough, someone had just posted about these! I've been using them for years and they work great. Here's the link.
Edit: I bought them from their website back in the day because they weren't on amazon then. If you buy 3 or more it's cheaper from there. I think I bought like 5 pairs when I initially ordered and gave some to my concert buddies and sister.
Got these ones. These the ones? There are a lot of listings.

you could just go to the drug store and buy normal foam earplugs there. That's what most people do I think. I definitely have the same idea. I think I have some mild ringing caused by too many concerts, and the last one I went to wasn't even that loud and my ears still kind of hurt.
You can get earplugs that are supposed to dampen all frequencies equally, but I don't know if that's bs or not. I bought some but have yet to test them out. I doubt you'd notice much of a difference anyways. They are pretty cheap so w/e
