I was diagnosed 20 years ago. I joined this forum and was astonished when I saw a post entitled “what kind of earplugs do you have?” I thought “wait, you all have ear plugs too?” My point is that when I was diagnosed, we didn’t know all these things about ADHD (auditory sensitivities, etc). I used to flip shit and get angry immediately when I heard leaf blowers. Certain sounds would send me over the edge when I was younger. I am also finding out about a correlation between ADHD and rejection dysphoria. What book can I read to find out what else I don’t know that’s been discovered since 2005?
Also, I’m female, so I’m probably missing info about that too.
Regarding earplugs, hi-fi manufacturers like Sennheiser and AKG (can’t remember exactly which of them) make earplugs for musicians and concert-goers, so the person hears all the instruments, but quieter.
I ended up with the Loops that have the switch. They are nice, but I can’t tell any difference in switch positions.
