I’ve been testing out my new @loopearplugs at work all week. Hannah discovered these noise reduction earplugs on TikTok recently and well, if it’s TikTok worthy then it has to be good!! Am I right? Lol.
As most of you know who follow my journey closely, I’ve been suffering with many neurological issues over the past 16 months all thanks to the Psilocybin Research Trial I participated in back in April of 2022.
One of the many issues that continues to plague me on a daily basis is noise. Certain sounds, especially sudden or very loud ones will trigger both an emotional and physiological response in my body; even something as simple as a soft whisper too close to my ear will cause a fight or flight response or my entire body to tremor, almost as a defense mechanism.
My reaction to normal everyday sounds which most people wouldn’t even flinch at or react to have now become extremely overwhelming, intense and often very stressful for me.
I am loving my new earplugs so far. They are discreet, compact and come in lots of pretty colours too!
They allow me to still hear those speaking directly to me or carry on conversations while at the same time enable me to filter out a lot of the background noises that trigger me or send me spiraling into a sensory overload.
My true test though on how great my new noise reduction earplugs are came last night when I attended another “Summer Concert in the Park”, featuring a tribute to “Queen”. These earplugs were my one saving grace of the evening, that, and my friends of course ❤️.
