Dining room noise affecting DS?

My 4.11 Ds , no dx yet but general delay, especially speech & fine motor, just started pre school. He seems to have settled in well except at lunch time when his behavior really goes downhill & he hardly eats. Teacher & I agree that noisy canteen is probably the cause & today his OT suggested him wearing his walkman at lunchtime to block out noise. I really want to avoid yet another thing that marks him out as different but if I thought this would help would try it. Any other bright ideas on cutting stimuli without making him eat alone somewhere else?

Yes just one big canteen & apparently food cannot be taken out to another area

Alternative would be to send packed lunch I suppose but I so want him to join in as much as poss with other kids as he can't join in most classroom stuff
