Does it ever annoy you when you just have consistent noise, all day?

Then when you’re home, you want to play music, but the dog is puffing like a steam train in the house, so it ruins the sound of your music and dominates all sounds and thoughts? I’ve got Asperger’s and am sound sensitive and I wonder if these things are annoying to most people anyway?

I have cochlear hyperacusis so I experience something similar. And I can tell that I do better in quieter environments. But when I am in loud environments, I can play music or other types of audio through headphones or iems (my preference). I've found that iems with foam tips tend to block out a loot of sound. So when I play music, I can't even hear what's going on around me. Especially since I eq my earphones so that I can play music safely at higher volumes due to adjusting the loudness curve.

I kind of tune it out where possible
