Same here as the above commenter, I just listen to my iPod at work or home. It’s a lifesaver to me because I got my work done much more efficiently while wearing it and listening to my favorite tunes.

I just use my iPod. It has the bonus of warding off unwanted conversation, and if you go into a store with stupid music, you don’t have to listen to it because you have your own.

I’m SO envious!!!! Oh, how I’d love to wear earplugs at various times but here’s my problem and perhaps not such an unusual one: I’ve had the hypervigilance part of PTSD most of my life making me feel it necessary to have all senses on full alert at all times for unanticipated danger. As an Aspie adult I adore genuine quiet and seek it out and revel in nature sounds but I feel that my ears are revolving like little radar dishes on red alert in other settings. I’ve tried earplugs for very brief periods but then my vision just ramps up and I’m spinning around to spot any incoming that I can’t hear and it’s almost instantly way too uncomfortable.
Not complaining, just thought someone else might find this interesting.
