I second having a hiding place. Use a conference room if you have any of those. Advocate for a space with the people who manage that. Headphones alone do not a happy brain make.
When advocating, you can cite the need for a quiet place to make phone calls or something - then just use the space to escape for an hour or two if you get it.

Thanks! I will advocate for one room for work in silence.
Good luck! If you need it, there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that people need less noise in the workplace.
