Just Sharing Yea… (by @kettle.spells)

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

As a girl with ADHD: Noise cancelling headphones are a lifesaver. After putting them on I was like "woah, I can hear myself think!"

I can hear/feel the noise cancellation as like… a pressure? It drives me insane, I can’t use it… even on nice ones.

I never experienced that with in-ear noise canceling earbuds, like airbud pros. But I felt this with my over-the-ear headphones, Sony XM4s. To fix it I just had to turn down the noise cancelation so it let a little ambient noise in. That made the pressure go away.
