1 year agoCan confirm. Got a 20yo roommate, who before the diagnosis was striving to be better, was trying to learn and figure stuff out. After diagnosis turned into total pain in the ass, blaming everything on the disability, stopped cleaning after himself, kinda gave up on himself in general. I agree, it might be because he stopped masking but it was just sad to see such a change for worse, he took it the wrong way.
OP though sounds like a conscious person, weighing their options, asking for opinion from others. Good job OP!
I think it’s personal, we all have different ear canals and different levels of noise tolerance. I’m fine without earplugs during the day, but at night I need them. I tried Loop but they slipped out of my ears(nothing wrong, they just don’t fit my ear canals). I tried custom made, but they are too firm for sleeping and my ears will hurt in the morning. Foam will hurt too. Eventually I tried a lot of them for sleeping and settled on
, with two layers as they are a bit smaller and made out of silicone and won’t hurt during the night.
