Me: (fully aware I have noise sensitivity to loud bass that I’m not in control of) “Living in suburbia or apartments is too loud, everyone plays loud bass all the time and I can’t avoid it”
*moves to a more rural area*
Neighbours now play music louder because their neighbours are further away 🤦♂️
How do I find peace??
Hello, Lovely Peeps! I saw this last night & thought it was brilliant - am posting in case it can help anyone! 😃
During the last year of Najma Omar’s doctoral program in occupational therapy, her prof asked them to think about tools that hadn’t yet been invented to help people — but should exist.
She thought about her sister, who struggled with finding a hijab that could help with her noise sensitivity without adding a lot of weight or increasing pressure around her ears, which headphones or earmuffs did, and developed the 'SereniHijab' (Serenity Hijab), made of lightweight fabric, and padding inserted into the hijab covers the ears just enough that loud sounds aren’t as overwhelming.
'For Najma, the SereniHijab isn’t just a business. It’s a mission.
“Islam teaches ease, compassion, accommodation and meeting people where they are at. Designing a hijab that considers sensory needs is an extension of that. It’s honoring faith while also honoring someone’s sensory needs and neurology,” she said.
“It’s making sure that all women like my sister don’t have to choose between their comfort and then their identity.” '
Expected to launch in May, the first drop ... 'will have 100 pieces, including 50 pull-on hijabs & 50 headcap and scarf sets. After that, the Sereni team will offer pre-order availability.'

Inspired by the experience of her autistic siblings, a Minneapolis occupational therapist has developed a hijab that uses lightweight fabric and padding added around the ears to help ensure that loud sounds aren’t as overwhelming for those with sensory-processing issues.
'tis the season!
The season for what?
'tis the season for the lawnmowers and the leaf-blowers to rise from their winter slumber.
I can hear them roar outside my apartment window.
I did not miss them.
Not one bit.

Man, I love it when the douches park their douchemobiles right outside my window and blast their douchey music.
(ETA: /sarc)
Absolutely me right now looking at thousands of spreadsheet lines while blaring my "Bustin BPM" playlist.

"A long-term study conducted by SoundSense has identified a correlation between a person's sensitivity to loud noises or specific tones that were often inaudible to others, and that person's state of ill health or a health condition"
