    Yes I do! I was carrying them around with me all the time in the early months, and still use them to run bath water, if there is very loud machinery outside going on, etc.

    Oh okay the reason I ask is cause if I use mine for 20-30 minutes straight and I take them off my T is extremely low for the first few minutes then it slowly starts ramping back up to baseline after a few minutes have passed. I wanted to ask if you experience this as well? Or if you use them again maybe you can test this experiment out

    @Sammy0225 do you have them and use them at times? Did you do any ear protection at the zoo or restaurant ?

    @ErikaS I definitely always keep them close. Outside my home is always noisy stuff like ambulances passing by or loud planes passing over. But yea at the zoo and the restaurant I use my filter ear plugs. They block 20DB but also allow some noise so everything doesn't sound as muffled

    @Sammy0225 so when I would wear for longer periods of time in the early months, the T sounded louder and overwhelming the longer I had them on for, so having them on longer than needed kind of created a negative mental feedback for me. Having them on never made my T “sound”lower to me, but it would be lower sounding for sure when I took them off.

    @Sammy0225 then I read how N.C. headphones can actually play tricks on the brain if worn too often and make it perceive it as more present and louder, and I felt that’s what I was experiencing in the beginning so I only used when absolutely needed.
