For some with ADHD, the low rumble of brown noise quiets the brain

Once I lived in the worst place noise wise. The street was transited at night, there were many dogs barking in the neighborhood, and people came in and out of the nearby rooms.

After one month, I managed to sleep by wearing something like these: http://static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/2FLL3_AS01...

and over that, thick headphones playing a recording of popcorn in a microwave.

I managed to stay 4 months there.

Haha, that sounds awful. I hope you’re somewhere peaceful now.

I do find those work (and I keep a pair in my toiletry bag which I take just about everywhere), but if I leave them in for prolonged periods I find my ears start to hurt. Almost like I could be developing some kind of inner ear skin irritation.
