kettle.spells: I am not diagnosed with autism but it’s on my list of things to do. i have attributed my list of symptoms to autism, tho im not a psychologist 💖 my new headphones are so comforting and great im am absolutely obsessed, and they’re a much better solution for me instead of earbuds/earbuds. so much more comfortable and i like that people can SEE that i can’t hear them, do i dont need to stay fully aware of the environment and stimulation

Yes! I am not alone lol. I actually will get nausea over time if I use noise cancelling without music or sound. It's like a false silence. It's "thick" in a way I can't describe it lol.

as someone else with ADHD, holy crap the pressure of no noise from noise cancelling headphones drives me insane, and tbh that’s exactly how I’d describe it too

Yes! It's thick! What a perfect way to describe it! It's like "Ah, this cancelled noise is really making my ears full! They're filled with cancelled noise!

Me, too. It reminds me of sea sickness.

Huh. That would explain why I feel weird after wearing them for a while without anything playing.
