No, but only because I start humming tunelessly and I don't know how loud I'm getting or who I'm annoying

When I worked in an open-plan office, noise cancelling headphones were the only way I could concentrate & avoid getting stressed.

Team NC headphones. As long as it's not too sweaty out, I find their consistent pressure comforting

i dont really wear earplugs..

do earbuds count

Do ANC earbuds count? If so, absolutely yes.

I recommend the earmuff style. They work better and they make ppl not want to talk to you.

neurodivergents rise up

Try turning those air filters off. 😏

Noise canceling headphones with no music count?

No but I keep that thang on me at all times.

depends on the day, but currently yes!

Yep, started 15 years ago, never stopped. Earplugs, mildly noise-cancelling (passive, not active), turn any noise into ambient noise level. They are basically a switch to get into "let's do some work now" mentally.

Do we count bad hearing as earplugs? 😅

Nature’s earplugs? ☺️

Basically lol

It is not uncommon for me to realize at the start of a Zoom meeting that the over-ear headphones I’ve been wearing for the last 2 hours aren’t even turned on.

Pardon?

No, but maybe I should???

anc ear buds w/white noise.

+1. I also like pink noise (less high end fuzz than white noise) and starship engine hum videos on YouTube.

Usually rain/thunder

No, plugging my ear canals gives me monster ear infections no matter what I do. I stick to over ear headphones and try to take frequent breaks from them. Sony Wh-1000xm4 are still the greatest mental health investment I ever made though.

My Sony NC headphones say I use them an average of 7 hours a day. So yeah.

We swap between those, and noise cancelling headphones a good bit. Hyperacusis blooows

I’ve done that quite a lot. It’s nice.

Headset but yeah, basically

I use noise cancelling headphones with no music.

Yes! It's really useful :3
