> Easily distracted by noise (hypersensitive to external sounds like birds, cars, construction, etc.) I suffer from misophonia in a way that is similar to this. There are certain high, mid-high sounds that cause a painfully disorienting "touch" sensation for me, along with the usual suspects like chewing. I hear sonic animal repellents that most people out of their teen years don't. > Noise cancellation headphones to eliminate distracting sounds I was skeptical about these in the past. I received a pair as a Christmas present and they've been literally life-changing, especially in COVID World with the kids at home. They're Bose and probably cost more than I would spend on myself, but they are priceless to me now.
