Also, #earplugs are fantastic, and if I'm the old guy at the concert to say that, then so be it!

I've been avoiding my #earplugs for a while, since they seemed to be clogging up my ears. This morning, I put them in again, and the sudden peace I feel is bliss.

I hadn't realized how much strain all the noise was putting on my ears. It was clogging up my head much faster than the earplugs.

@douginamug Do yourself a favor and get #earplugs for about 30-50€ which usually come with a decent transport box.

Those are so much better than the usual 30 Cent foam thingies where you only hear low frequencies.

Unfortunately, it was only a couple of months ago that I've learned about them. So many #music #concerts would have been a dramatically better experience in sound. 😔

Wenn man sehr reiz- und geräuschsensibel ist, die Nachbarn jedes Wochenende Musik spielen und die Decken 60er Jahre mäßig dünn sind.

I bought three essential products for my upcoming trip to Madrid. One arrived today. This small orange box of Loop Engage Plus #earplugs fit well. I plan on using them to cut noises on the plane and in large outdoor markets on busy days. They feel easier to wear than AirPods.

I’ve been eying them for a while. Im excited to see what other spaces these help me in.

Re:Piercing
I managed to get my new Amethyst ear plug in this morning, it was a little bit of a stretch and boy did it sting when it popped in but it looks awesome 🥰 #earplugs

Earplugs that go over the ear and that have a moldable, medical/food grade? safe putty or similar that can block noise externally without insertion into the ear canal #earplugs #ideas

@MarleenChocoladeteen Ik heb deze nu besteld. Ben benieuwd #earplugs

Update if you're in #Malaysia and have #ADHD or would just like an earplug recommendation: last time I mentioned Loop #earplugs (which is from EU), we found out that while there's a Shopee local storefront much of the products is marked sold out. anyway today I was looking again for my bestie, and apparently the active storefront is on #Lazada: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.UCy3Z

I especially recommend the Engage Pro or the Experience Plus for an all-rounder set, depending on your needs.

Road noise makes blood pressure rise, study finds

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-65089611

Being an #Introvert - we tend to value peace & quiet - I'm certain any unnecessary noise makes my blood pressure rise.

These days, I wear #EarPlugs when walking along roads and in areas busy with people. I try to avoid such areas as much as possible.

I got myself a new Earplug it's 10mm (00 gauge) labradorite teardrop shape 🥰

In 1969, four baby elephants were introduced to Windsor Safari Park near Heathrow airport, but the planes were so loud it caused the babies to stampede. There could be only one solution: elephant earmuffs.

Question: who has these and did they make any change in your daily life?

Saw these recently and thought they were interesting. #Flare #Calmer #earplugs

I recently got a pair of loop engage #earplugs and have given them a test run at work - they worked well for me!

I'm at a small startup and we have a common room that a) has concrete floors 2) is large enough that people feel they can whisper to each other on the side and 3) is poorly sound-insulated from the conference room. I wore them to a couple meetings in there, and they helped me focus immensely. I could still clearly hear everyone who was presenting speak, but the background noise was strongly reduced.

I also wore them when I was presenting - when I talk it feels a bit like I have a head cold, and I'm not 100% sure I have the right voice volume, but it felt far closer to normal than any other earplugs. I do find them a bit itchy after a half hour though.

Just thought other sound-sensitive folks might like to hear about my experience!

Definitely do this from time-to-time with my earbuds (Sony LinkBuds S) when I'm trying to concentrate.
