I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, and I’ve noticed that I sometimes get sensory overload, when my kid (5, also neurodivergent) starts humming, or other loud conversations etc, I get physical pain from the sustain loud (or just high level) noise. I’ve been using my AirPod Pro with no music with just noise cancelling to help. Anyone else in a similar situation? What do you do to help?

I usually just go outside and take a walk when inside noise bothers me, even if i go with my younger sister that yells really loud, the absesnce of walls gets rid of the echo that makes me feel "pain".
