@dinobelbo@mastodon.online Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, or if it will do what you want, but I have hearing aids I got from Costco and one of the features is a switchable effect that generates a low level of background noise that supposedly helps your brain focus. I don’t use it because I have a kind of tinnitus that does that for me. @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social

@dinobelbo@mastodon.online @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social A thing I've found helpful—hang on, looking up the term okay "flare calmer." They look like hollow ear plugs. Dampens the highs and lows. Helps me significantly when in a space with bad noise, without the plugged-up problem of full decibel-reducing earplugs. We use walkie-talkie radios at work and the flare calmers cut out much of the static hiss, which makes it easier to actually hear the talking.

Maybe you can try the Flare Audio Calmer line? https://www.flareaudio.com/en-us/products/calmer These help take the edge off when the kids in the suite upstairs of my office start doing music lessons.

@dinobelbo@mastodon.online @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social I don't think that's possible. Its not actually amplifying your own voic,e which is being conducted through your bones and you're hearing that all the time, it's just blocking everything else out so it *seems* louder. You could try active noise cancelling headphones with a voice passthrough function. In theory, that will block the noise, but let human voice frequencies though, I'm not sure how well they work in practice, though.

@dinobelbo@mastodon.online @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social Yes. Musicians ear plugs. Surprisingly, the trick is to have them very deep. This means they need to be custom made. You need to go to an audiologist and have them made from a mold of your ear that the audiologist can make. They are not cheap! Made for singers and the like. Had some many years ago. They stop fitting after a number of years as your ear changes shape.

@dinobelbo@mastodon.online @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social i have the flare audio ones with a -10db insert thing - they are better than regular earplugs - not that much quieter overall but filter harsh noise like traffic and crowds quite well Doesn't entirely fix the your own voice seeming louder issue, but i think its less so that other ones ive tried

@dinobelbo@mastodon.online @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social Loop has some that I use for playing my bagpipes, called “Experience”. I think they are marketed for concerts and so on. I can hear enough to get by in a close conversation and they quiet the standing waves and out-of-tune harmonics so I don’t lose my mind when I’m playing pipes with others.
