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 have tried a similar one, the loop earplugs. They were indeed lowering the sound level, but I could hear my breathing, swallowing and chewing so much louder than anything else it made things worse.
