Hi everyone - I dont know how many of you suffer from hearing too well, to the point of being driven nuts, and/or tears. I finally splurged on a great pair of active noise cancelling headphones. I was petrified to do so, because of my many sensitivities. I was afraid they would be too uncomfortable, or not really work and so on, and the top rated ones, are $$$.
Well they arrived today - and I wish I had done this 4 years ago. I literally cried. The only time I have experienced this type of silence was when the electric in the house would go off. I still can hear talking, and the tv, and other things, but it cancels out the hums of all the motors, the electric hums, fans, and so much more. I dont think I would have become so hostile, and miserable if I could have accessed this type of silence, in comfort, when I needed to. I swear, even my own chewing is tolerable from these things! Suddenly - the jackhammers are OFF in my head. Not a moment too soon.
Active noise cancelling headphones. I wish I had known about them before. The ones I purchased, can be hooked up to most other audio as well, like MP3s, Tvs, computers. The music is so clear, and the outside noises are still mostly cancelled too!

Did any of you see the latest at the latest tech convention in las vegas - they have made chairs with headrests with the noise cancelling technology in them. I doubt they would work as well as these though - the vacuum seal is so important in these working so well. still - best thing ever, agreed! saved my life
