Noise Cancelling Headphones

Got myself a pair of these and trying them out for the first time (just in my flat). No noise from the outside world, no rattling of radiators or boilers ticking over. Have a strangely calm sensation in my head which is hard to describe. 


Only uncovered what I strongly believe to be autism just over a week ago with my therapist, but I’m collecting more and more data every day that supports the discovery. Completely blindsided me if I’m honest but my response has been mostly positive so far.

There is definitely a little bit of grief behind it, but for the first time in my life the noise in my head and the tension in my body has been turned right down. I said to my therapist yesterday it’s like someone has handed me the instruction manual to my brain. Still lots of stuff to figure out but it’s a huge relief to finally have some answers after all these years.

Anyway, excuse my little tangent. The noise cancelling headphones are a good purchase it seems!

  • Sorry to hear your family is harsh on the headphones! I've been using them for over 20 years and have tried lots of models. Most recently I've been testing a batch of ones that seem to be most recommended models from Sony (XM6) and Bose (quietcomfort Ultra 2). Have written up my findings here if you want to read more but have to say, there's a lot of hype and a lot of features that just aren't relevant to autistic people's sensitivities

    early spoiler - ear pressure and misophonia are two things people aren't really testing for properly...
