    There’s got to be two kinds of ADHD. One where you need background noise, one where you hate it. I fit into the second category.

      I oscillate between these.

      Thankfully the whir of the engines on the Enterprise give a happy medium.

        Have you tried tinnitus? 0/10, would not recommend.

        please make it stop

          tinnitus sucks. I have been enjoying my JVC sz2000 headphones for idk, like 5k hours for the past 10 years. they have outlived many amps and soon my ears too.

          possible, though I’m not diagnosed either because it’s a kinda difficult and long process and I don’t feel like starting it today, but definitely tomorrow maybe.

        Me too. Thanks to tinnitus, I haven’t experienced silence for decades. Best I can do is drown it out with some pink or brown noise.

      All of my adhd friends need noise, I need silence. I’m the only one with a separately diagnosed sensory disorder, so that might explain it for me.
