I’m autistic with relatively high sound sensitivity. I’m wondering if another autistic person in this community used any soundproofing in an apartment that actually reduced noise coming from a busy street. There are a lot of different products out there and I don’t want to buy something that doesn’t work.

      I already have noise canceling headphones and loops. I don’t like wearing the headphones all day because they get uncomfortable after a while. I’d like to target the sources of noise if possible.

        How long are you able to wear yours? The right pair might change everything…

        I’m unable to wear most headphones for longer than 15 minutes due to wierldy sensitive, painful ears but my Bose QC 35 I can literally wear for 8hrs straight before they start to irritate other areas

          If you have any comfortable noise-canceling headphones recommendations that would be helpful. Mine are not really comfortable and I can’t lay down and wear them because I like to lay on my side when I rest.
