Misophonia & Noise canceling headphones

Ghost
over 2 years ago

Hi, I suffer from misophonia and currently wear on ear wireless headphones with white noise to block out sounds. I have 3 pairs which have at least 12h battery life to ensure that I have one available at all times + a spare

I recently got told that I should watch the show A-Typical. I'm not sure why. So far I've found the TV show distressing. But anyway; I noticed that the main character with autism has noise canceling headphone and wondered if anyone has any experience with some that they could recommend.

Reading about noise canceling, In my mind I'm imagine something that negates all sounds and give you total silence. As I sometimes require to listen to sounds very loud to block out some noise. This would be far safer for me as I already have tinnitus.

This this is true on how they actually work. Can someone recommend some headphones which do this? I like my current ones because I can sleep with them on

    I read somewhere that noise cancelling headphones can make you feel even more sensitive to noise when you aren't wearing them. I've used Flare Calm plugs at times but I'm self conscious about it because I don't tell everyone I'm autistic.

    Thanks,  These look interesting. I've avoided putting stuff 'in' my ears for years because I had some issues instead using on-ear or over-ear headphones. I am however tempted to put these in then have on-eat headphones over the top
