Which noise cancelling has been best for you?

Deleted User

Hi!

To help my sensory needs, I use:

  • chewing buddy for anxiety relief;
  • Noise cancelling earplugs

The in-ear earplugs noise-cancelling does not cancel enough noise from the surroundings in my experience. The over-ear earphones or over-ear Muffs can be uncomfortable: too heavy for using many hours a day and the ear-pressure becomes painful.

Recently, I noticed that earphones (those that do play music) have some sort of white noise for noise masking (replace uneven noise with random/even noise). Another option is indeed to simply play some white/pink/brown noise.

Anyways, I wrote that just in case it helps other in the search, and I would be also curious about what have you found and of any advice. 

Feel free to share any other gadgets or practices that you use and help your sensory needs.

The AI-Chatbots may have some good suggestions as well, but I'm not so interested in talking to it at the moment.

Have a nice day!

  • I don’t like the feeling of pressure and blocked ears with ear defenders and over earphones. although the loop earplugs are comfortable, they don’t always block unwanted noise. 

    When I need to focus, I like to set my AirPods to the noise cancelling function and stream white noise or nature sounds. Other times I listen to podcasts, audiobooks and music. The AirPods have a transparency setting if I need to hear people speak or to have a conversation. 

    There is a huge selection of white noise and nature sound albums and tracks available now. I prefer the higher pitched sounds as they make my whole being feel lighter.
