@periferal @testoceratops I've considered active noise-cancelling headphones to be a #mentalhealth tool since before I knew I was #ActuallyAutistic.
Note: When shopping, some makers will try to pass off regular padded headphones as "Passive Noise-Cancelling" so specifically look for "active" or "ANC" headphones.
@Xopher @testoceratops i was able to invest in a pair designed for construction workers, with bluetooth. they were a big investment for me at $60 but absolutely worth it. they are so good i am thinking i need to also find a cheaper pair that don't block sound out quite so much for safety.
SO SO helpful both with sensory overwhelm and executive function, because i can switch tasks while keep my sensory soundscape the same by putting a podcast on. without them it gets harder or easier to hear as i walk around and turn on faucets etc
