We have the technology!

Not me, oh man so not me, but remember that welcome pdf you got when moving in? Look for requests and tech policies. The answer is there.

Spoilers: there's a link to a form, and one of brilliant tech folks will help out.

Oh no, are someone's ears not anatomically suited to standard-issue headphones? You should just change over to human ones-- oh wait, I forgot. Your body is boring.

i am not an engineer OR particularly versed in anatomy but from a tech standpoint i'm sure we can figure something workable out with testing. it will probably be easiest to start by modifying tech already on the market, maybe a behind the neck set or IEMs. how sensitive are your ears to something being clipped on them? not like binder clips because ouch why but like old school clip-on earrings (are those even a thing still idk)

This'll probably involve getting a mold of both your ears so we can build them from scratch. Which also probably means shaving the insides of your ears, if there's fuzz in there, since that'd distort the mold enough to keep them from being properly soundproof. Then it's just a matter of casting them in whatever material you want and probably ordering some custom rubber end thingies to keep them comfortable and comfortably seated in your ears.

Been a while since I worked on electronics that aren't just camouflaged trackers, but earbuds are doable.
