Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that they didn't work for you! Anxiety and noise-sensitivity can be subjective, and what works for one person may not work for another. Some days my sensitivity is greater, so I would like to find something discreet with a bit more noise cancelling as well, although my Loops work well for most situations for me. I've noticed a lot of companies are coming out with similar-type products, so I hope you're able to find something that works for you!

@@quitting_anxiety I mostly use my Sony over ear headphones with good noise cancelling

Just got my switch after losing my engage. I like the engage much better

It’s rooted in CBT and unlike free writing or prompt journaling (which I’m a big fan of) its generally specific to a situation and usually involves documenting the situation or trigger, your feelings about it, with the goal of reframing negative thought patterns.

@@quitting_anxietyGot it! I’d love a video on the prompt journaling. I’ve been told to do stream of consciousness and thought journaling actually (know that I know what it is) by therapists before, and it is helpful to make you feel more relaxed and reduce the load of anxiety at night, but I find myself never keeping up with it for long

@@newchapterasmrI will definitely do a video on it, for sure!

That’s interesting, I’d think a library would be ideal for sound-sensitive people. Who knew?! Depending on your level of sensitivity and amount of noise, the engage may or may not be adequate. I also have the Quiet ones - now that I’m done school for a few weeks I promise a review is coming! - and they block more noise. They do make it a bit harder to hear what’s going on around you and converse but not impossible.

@@quitting_anxiety Right, who knew. It really depends on the place. The library on a different campus of the same university is totally the opposite. I ended up ordering the engage, because the Quiet have a big decibel reduction and I do still need to understand what’s going on around me clearly. I hope they work. Thank you for your reply!

@@newchapterasmrHi, how did things go with your engage earplugs? Please let me know if you can :)

@ Hi! I’m no longer at that job, but unfortunately they didn’t work. They muffled people’s voices too much that I couldn’t hear them clearly but weren’t enough for the hard noise. I don’t blame them, that was a though job to fill. I still use them at night to muffle out any noise the neighbours might be making though

@@newchapterasmr Oh man that’s so annoying 😅 I might just get noise cancelling headphones instead. Thanks for letting me know :)

I promise a review/comparison between the two is in the works now (next week hopefully!) now that I have a break from school!

@@quitting_anxiety Hi! looking forward for this comparison. I hope you are doing well :)

@@kellymp25doing well thank you, just puppy training the last month! Hope you’re doing well too. Will make sure to do a comparison soon!

i’m waiting as well :)

They really do help!

Ive brought some of the engage but I don't no if they fit correctly and if I like the fact that I can't hear as much even tho lots of noise makes me overwhelmed lol I don't no what to think

That's awesome! Do you know which brand they are?
