Earplugs

Awesome, thank you so much for your advice . I was actually looking at loop earplugs but wasn't sure which ones would be best so thank you :)

Thank you, will give them a go :)

I don’t need to use earplugs, but I do wear them at night, and it does actually help me switch off more than if I didn’t use them. They are just simple foam ‘super soft’ earplugs by Macks. Probably not what you are looking for,  but worth a shot perhaps? As they are inexpensive. 

Doctors are morons and don't understand are mind set. That's rediclouse lol. The reason why we loose focus is due to racing thoughts and over thinking earplugs wouldn't solve that  If anything I find the only thing that engages my brain is music something fast and up best to match the speed of which my mind works. Doctors and shrinks are idiots and know nothing about autistic minds. Don't let them give you any drugs for it either as they'll mess you up even more too.

There are some extremely good noise cancelling ones with pass through at prices under £50 or even £30 now.  The technology has filtered down.  Have a look on www.techradar.com and www.whathifi.com for recommended ones.  Personally I spent a lot on high end ones but you can still buy previous models that are 90% as good as the latest version cheaper.  For example the Sony WF-1000X4 are about £200 but the previous model WF-1000XM3 is £100 in Argos and secondhand through CEX as A grade (Which in my experience means brand new and never used) are £75.

No, they won't cut-out all noise, but that might interfere with safety or awareness.  Cutting out too much noise can also feel uncomfortable, and that would interfere with focus on tasks.

I use vibes hi fi ear plugs, just cuts out annoyong noise but not everyrhing

I bought Loop Quiet ones off Amazon a while back £18, not cheap but washable so works out cheaper than disposables and stay in better.  You get small/medium/large eartips in the pack, so you can find the size that fits.  There are cheaper ones, I just found these recommended on autism pages a few times so felt they would be a good buy.

They reduce noise level by about a quarter, which might help depending on the background noise.
