@MarcelPotter9 no problem! best of luck :)
@MarcelPotter9 depends, what app are you using? or are you on web browser? i use tusky, which has a setting for tabs in account preferences
@MarcelPotter9 its much easier here to follow hashtags, i have a tab set up just for #ActuallyAutistic instead of just seeing the biggest accounts on Birdâ„¢, would recommend!
@chouiine for a day at work i think they're great, definitely muffling, easy to clean, can still have a convo (but if it's too much muffling you can tug them out ever so slightly to break the seal), p comfy
@chouiine i have loop quiet, they're p good for sleep and focus time but they amplify internal sounds (eating, humming, etc) their newsletter alleges theyre working on a line to deal with that, tho.
i find them v comfy, theyre also the first in ear apparatus ive gotten that includes xs tips, so i love that but ik that's a more specific benefit just to be. they also slip out a little if i just leave them in long enough, so limits the effects, but that might be a personal fit thing.
