I absolutely love my Earbuds! I'll write about them tomorrow! 😊
My life improved so much in two days with the bed desk and the noise cancelling Earbuds, wow! I didn't realize what a change it would be. πŸ₯Ί
@testoceratops getting sound cancelling headphones has totally changed my life! i've always known their association with autism but more in the clinical sphere and now i am wondering why we aren't talking about them more throughout the #ActuallyAutistic community

@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

@periferal @Xopher That's really cool, I'm glad you found what you need!
@Xopher @periferal Yup I noticed that when I chose my first one a few years ago. What a deception it was!
@periferal I had a huge one but it used to hurt my ears and give me headaches, that's why I switched to earbuds! Yeah I definitely think we should talk more about it!
@periferal @testoceratops this is absolutely true... πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ night and day for me...
@NeoOnline @periferal Same here now! And it feels so much better not being overwhelming all the time πŸ˜ƒ
