@actuallyautistic especially the folks that have tinnitus.

I've always been very sensitive to several things, but this relates to sounds.

A sweet friend suggested the Loop earplugs to me. And, to be honest, I have looked them up several times before. But... I rather ask my Fedi friends this question:

Are you NeuroSpicy 🌶 and preferably with tinnitus and... Have you got any experience with Loops ?

If you are ND and don't have tinnitus, I'll still eager to learn about your experience!

What kind do you use? I saw so many of them... What do they do for you? And, also very important (hence my addition of the tinnitus bit): are you more aware of the tinnitus sounds when you're wearing the Loops?

My fear is that not only the bad sounds get filtered, but also the "good white noise", that I will become more focused/aware on/of the 24/7 hours of beeping in both my ears.

I really would appreciate to learn of your experience!!! Boosts are really appreciated! :bear_love:

I have no idea how many replies this Toot may get. I'll try to answer all I can, but I'm low on spoons (triggered too much by sounds today), so if I "only" like the answer, then I have seen it and I really appreciate your time and effort to share your experiences with me. :bear_flowers:

@PixysJourney @actuallyautistic I'm ~spicy and newly (2 years) have mild tinnitus, possibly as a result of COVID. Very sound sensitive. I use NC headphones a lot.

I find they do make the sound pressure of tinnitus worse, but it's easily controlled by listening to music, and the protection from crashing outside sounds is worth it.

(I have also been known to put in NC earbuds and wear NC over-ear headphones over that, when the world is very loud. It works surprisingly well.)

Autistic people are often criticised for “reading too much into things” and “assuming” the worst, but usually what we deduce is highly accurate, thanks to our pattern-spotting and dot-connecting abilities. I think the real issue is we typically unearth truths others want to remain hidden.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I use the Emperor's New Clothes metaphor so much people are tired of it, but it always gets the point across...
