Selectively Juggling

As I sit here in my hospital-based office, ambient sounds of passing laughter and conversations waft through, working their way under the closed door. Today it’s bearable and my fully charged noised cancelling headphones sit atop my desk, untouched and not needed.

If the noise was louder, or my nervous system more stressed I would reach for my BOSE noise cancelling headphones and gently pump some ADHD type meditative beats through while I focus on work. it is amazing how the beats can pull you out of the stresses of trying not to be distracted, and into the realm of hyper focus and productivity.

I don’t like intrusive discordant sounds, and feel like I have hyperacusis, as I hear everything and can sometimes struggle to filter out sounds. So, I am very mindful about what I choose to listen to when working.
