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 use Q20i Soundcore - got them for £27 on a deal.  They are over the ear type but very light and moreimportants soft too , some others I gave away as they were too tight on my head.

    For me the noise cancelling is good enough

    I think there been previous posts that there's downsides to wearing noise cancelling headphone for extended periods anyway

    I tend to use them for fairly short periods - like recently on the train for a couple of hours and in the evening if I want to concentrate.  Otherwise I just use sound (5 Echo Devices) around the house that I switch on and off as I move around.

    Loops are OK but I have tinnitus and so find them a little counter productive, they are OK if say in a noisy restaurant but I don't seem as mad on the them, as many others seem to be, or whether that just their marketing, I largely think the benefits of them is overstated personally.
