Always put headphones on when focussing on some work (in a team environment). Even if you don’t play any music to block out distractions, having them on signals that you’re busy and makes people less likely to interrupt you. You’ll find those interruptions that remain are a higher quality of interruption where your help is actually needed instead of just slightly easier than figuring it out for themself.

Eh. My issue is not people interruping me personally, but yelling to each other through me / over me. I am afraid headphones would only encourage it.
