Struggling with noise sensitivity

73074

I have been struggling with noise sensitivity since a really young age and this affects me in daily life. I have tried numerous different noise cancellation headphones however I cannot sit in the same room as someone eating. I can’t stand sitting in a room when there’s a clock in it. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this and has found effective ways to deal with it.
thank you.

  • When I was younger, I went to visit my grandparents and ended up sleeping in the lounge. I had to stop the pendulum clock because it was so unbearable I couldn't sleep. It was the first time that clock had been stopped in sixty years.

    Currently I am sleeping near a water tank, and I can hear it trickling water in the background for hours at night. It must have cost me a thousand hours of sleep at least.

    I am going to try and buy one of these white noise producing machines for babies and see if that helps.

    I use one of the rechargeable, portable, white noise generation machines.

    It has a choice of different sound tracks, different timers / continuous play, volume control and a carry strap.

    I opted for one without a LED lamp / no colour-changing LED as I wanted to prioritise battery life over that lamp feature (I am not using as a sensory lamp, nor as a nightlight).

    I also take it with me out and about - particularly, if there is a challenging public transport journey - when I would perhaps like to arrive 30 minutes early, chill out somewhere (despite a distracting urban environment) and drink my bottle of water before an appointment.

    I set myself a budget of under £20 (as I wanted to take it away from home without worrying about the item e.g. in a hotel).

    I've ordered it. It is on sale at the moment! Thanks for the recommendation.
