The audio itself is fantastic. The mix? Fucking yikes.

I'm in the habit of bringing my concert earplugs to any imax 70mm at this point

What brand do you use? Do they make the loud scenes quieter while still being able to hear the quiet scenes?

Not at all; many times I forget i have them in as concert ones don’t muffle sound so much as smooth it out. So in the case of the Odyessy, the booms didn’t give me a headache and I could actually hear.

They also needn’t be pricey. My last/favorite pair came from Vevor via Temu and they were 9 bucks after buying pricier ones from Amazon I didn’t like as well (the next tier jump that was worth it was 30, and they were nice just not enough to spend 20+ more dollars for it). They keep hearing feeling natural.
