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 had those for a couple of weeks and had to return them. They did lower the sound level but not my body sounds. I could hear myself breathe, swallow and chew louder than anything else. And the issue is that meals are one of my critical moments.
