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 also have a pair of Sony over the ear noise cancelling (forgot the exact model number) the issue is that they’re bulky. I bought the AirPod Pro because they’re so much smaller.

      Yep, I haven’t found any smaller compromises I can make for this problem, it’s up to you if this one is worth it.

      I only wear the headphones sometimes for the bulk reason, but I also go out of my way to have quiet environments to begin with. I suspect you want to keep your child though, so I didn’t bother to suggest that.
