Ear defenders for sensory issues

I use earplugs all the time during the day. I only discovered them a few weeks ago, and I find them wonderful for cutting out all the background noises - which stops me from getting exhausted.  I function much better with them and can concentrate for longer periods. And at night, too, I sleep with them and I wear an eye mask. They have both really helped me with my insomnia. I also use noise-cancelling headphones for times when I can't wear the earplugs, such as when I'm playing piano or watching a movie.

just looked at them --- not sure what to think,,,,,  lets see if someone has .......

I have been looking at the calmer ear plugs by flare audio , Has anyone tried them?

I find helpful my pair of ear defenders. They help in noisy places and help with any background noises. 

i have all sorts of headphones and ear defenders. My favourite is a set of ear defenders with a built in radio. Also I use these with reusable ear plugs ( rubber reusable ones covered in Baby bum zinc oxide cream ) . The ear defenders are big about 6cms in thickness cup on each ear so most people wont like them for shopping etc i use them at home and out in garden. I also have a cheap pair of radio headphones for out and about ( headphones with a radio in them )

I use noise cancelling headphones. Sometimes they’re just on silent. Sometimes I use particular music or books to regulate and control my own environment. That will depend on what I’m experiencing, where I am, what I can or can’t manage that day and a whole plethora of other factors. I was thinking only today that my headphones have massively helped me. 

I've heard noise cancelling headphones are good. 

When I'm going to noisy places I wear a pair of those cheap orange foam earplugs form Screwfix - if people notice them they probably think I have i-phone earbuds
