Rachel, yes good noise cancelling headphones are expensive unfortunately.
If you just want quiet and do not need to listen to music have you considered Loop Quiet 2?
I have not used them but a lot of people are talking about them and giving them good…
Ahh hope it went okay in the end. Sounds like a nightmare. It so difficult to explain to someone else why something like that is so hard to do.
I find a good trick is to pretend you have a blister and say that you’ll sit on a bench whilst they go in a…
I don't like it and I don't enjoy it. I taught myself to do it in my 20s, as a misguided attempt to fit into the workplace. On the outside I may be smiling and nodding. However on the inside every fibre of my being is screaming "how can I escape…

I hate sound of tearing and crumping paper, coffee machine, washing dishes especially the crash of cutlery and plates, vacuum cleaner, adhesive tape and generally high pitch, explosive, sudden noises, repetitive sounds, alarms etc. the list could go on…
Hi, I’m a mother of a two year old, I think she is probably NT like her daddy, however I noticed her lining up toys, shoes, other stuff. Maybe it’s normal for this age, I’m observing her. She makes a lot of noise, so for me it’s challenging but earplugs…
