I have noticed that public announcements have got a lot louder. This includes almost any form of transport and at my local walk-in centre. The volume seems to be set to penetrate head phones. This means that people without are assaulted by noise. Surely it counts as discrimination when many Aspies/ people with ASD have a different sensitivies.
Should we make a concerted effort to communicate this formally to TFL, NHS areas, train service providers etc.
With a pair of noise cancelling headphones, the background noise is reduced significantly, and any loudspeaker announcements come through nice and clearly, and at a comfortable volume. Like a telephone call.
