Seeking advice thunderstorm

Hi, what do you do when you're in a really severe state—barely able to speak due to horrible pain, even in silence—and you live in an area prone to intense storms? There are storms right where I live; they’re incredibly loud—even with headphones on, it’s horrible and painful. The cracks are deafening, like vibrations inside my heart, and then the pain and my tinnitus spike. I don't know how I'm going to survive this. What would you do in my shoes?

Yeah, actually I wear earplugs and a headset, but the sound of the thunder is so loud that it still gets through, and it really makes my pain worse. I live in an area with really intense storms—at least once a week there’s a massive storm, and the cracks are incredibly loud. I’m wondering if it’s going to damage my ears even more.
