Hello. I'm 31, still living at home, and I have really bad anxiety but lately this past year I feel it's getting worse, especially with noise. Around the corner of our house is a park where children go to play and hang out obviously, but they have to pass by us to get to it and sometimes they stop on the corner of our house. If I hear them It makes me so anxious, my heart beats faster, I feel sick, I can't relax. I would look out of the window wondering what they're doing, why are they standing outside our house, I couldn't relax until I seen them walking away. And that would be the same with anyone who parked outside our house as well.
So I started wearing my headphones around the house, playing music at full volume to block out any sound, but sometimes it hurts my ears. So I bought ear defenders but with them I could still hear noise, and didn't find them helpful. Then I bought another pair of ear defenders that are reliable hearing protection against high noise levels in Industrial Settings, 37 dB. But I can still hear the noise from the outside world, my anxiety is heightened, I get frustrated and can't relax. Also my Mum Is getting frustrated as well, when she tries talking to me, I say I can't hear you but won't take my headphones off. I only take them off late at night because I know there's no noise coming from outside.
So my question is, is there any headphones that can cancel out all noise from the outside world? Or any advice on dealing with this, would be much appreciated
