Buying headphones to help autism

Post Reply New Topic

I decided to buy noise reduction headphones. Has anyone tried them before? Do they work? I just don't want to be so sensitive to sound anymore.

I will let you know if mine work when they are shipped to me.

i have two pairs.

mine block out noise but not voices, and noise isn't blocked out completely. if i'm in a room with a loud tv the loud tv seems less loud, but any voice being loud is still loud and one of my biggest issues is hearing lots of talking.

i can only recommend them if you have issues with earplugs... wait, are we talking about the ones that are not for audio output, right?

I use ear plugs. I have read there can be a danger to using them too much. Apparently the ear and brain eventually compensate by trying harder to hear what's going on and thus becomes more sensitive lol

I can say from experience that this is definitely the case. The website advised to not use them all the time, which is the temptation given the wonderful blissful feelings associated with not being stressed all the time. It advises to try to "strengthen" ones tolerance by just occasionally not using them.

Not sure if ear phones are the same.
