My wife and I are both autistic. She has difficulty moderating the volume of her voice, and I’m volume sensitive. So far she’s been unable to recognize when I’m having trouble, and I’ve been unable to stop being so sensitive. :/
I’ve tried wearing earplugs but I have trouble remembering to keep them in.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce volume from someone when you’re sensitive and they’re loud without realizing it?
This. I have a noise canceling headset I wear a lot. You can still hear, just takes off the sharp edge in a really nice way. I have the sony wh-1000xm3 and it’s very comfortable to me. You can turn noise canceling off if you want to hear more.
