#noise cancelling headphones

[passions-and-pupils]

just a reminder that if an accessibility aid would help your quality of life, then you can use it.

this goes for everything from wheelchairs and noise cancelling headphones to fidget spinners and acupuncture rings. You don’t need a diagnosis to start accommodating yourself. Especially on the mobility side. Trust me when I say that the only people who want those are people who need them. you aren’t taking resources from others you are using them as intended. you don’t need anyone’s permission to make your own life easier.

ANC = Active Noise Control (or Active Noise Reduction, ANR). Headphones with this have a button or switch to activate it. The headphones play additional white noise intended to cancel outside noise. Headphones with only ANC may not fit tightly over/in your ears.

Passive soundproofing: this method relies on materials and fit to reduce outside noise. This means a tight seal inside your ear (earbuds) or over/around your ear (headphones).

I've heard a lot people saying that Bonnie is autistic and I agree 100% so I drew this 'cause autism isn't just about being better than everyone else at one thing (sadly) /half joke

[ID: a digital fanart of Bonnie from "Adventure Time". She's wearing headphones and flapping her hands with and slightly annoyed expression.]

i love my noise canceling headphones because when i use them & it’s silent in the room, the white noise the headphones create make it sound like it’s raining and i just sit here like this: happy, listening to my fake rain

mmm fake rain

I finally got noise-cancelling headphones provided by the school and they are a literal life changer! And I'm allowed to keep one of the SERT rooms fidget toys in my locker now! Especially with exams coming up, these will help me so much with focusing and studying.

Is it harmful to wear ear defenders or noise cancelling headphones a lot?

The window air conditioner unit in my room is so loud and has to almost be constantly running to keep the room livable so i started to wear some ear defenders but they kinda make my ears (inner and outer parts) sore and i also dont want my tinnitus getting worse.

I feel like I'm getting weird looks for wearing sunglasses both inside and outside especially when it's cloudy or even raining but even when it's cloudy or raining the light is too bright and hurts almost and especially when there're other factors like noise and crowds and stuff. My brother says when I'm wearing my ear defenders and sunglasses I look stupid, I think it looks a little like I'm preparing for an explosion.

Noise cancelling is honestly the best invention of mankind. And I'm willing to bet my life that it was invented by an introvert.

Sooo... I finally bought good headphones with ANC!! Their model is Sony WH-1000XM4 and they're VERY expensive, but I tested them today and their ANC and sound quality are really amazing!! (I still need to test them at school, uh). And, what's really great, they're so soft and comfortable! I can use them for a long time and my head won't hurt! And their functions are really amazing too, I can do so much with just gestures and skffmsstmstk. I really really recommend them 💖

(I finally won't suffer because of too loud sounds, I can't... I can't even say how happy I am.)

Ear protection!! It's so important for a lot of autistics. Mainly for us. We need ear protection 24/7 but at times we don't think we need them, and we regret it after.. We get overstimulated quickly. But the mornings are so hectic we forget our ear protection, whether it's our headphones or earplugs, and it was bad. This is your reminder. Ear protection protects us. It protects you. It helps us. It helps you. Wear your ear protection. ☂️ - Allison
