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 the xm4 headphones and they do a great job at cancelling noise. Where they start to fall short is in an airplane, but you can couple them with etymotic? research noise reducing ear plugs to make up the difference.
