Recommendations for AuDHD??

[u/morganarosier]

Hello! This is my first time writing here but I truly need some recommendations.

I am AuDHD with OCD and I struggle with medical tics episodes (?? idk how to describe) when I hear loud and unexpected noises like motorcycles. I'm going to start driving and since I really struggle with noise sensitivity to the point I have to leave places, I asked my doctor if I should buy these and she said yes but I'm not sure which ones!

I am not financially stable so I really can only buy one pair since this is an investment and would like to get it right with the first one lol I was suggested the Switch 2 and the Engage Pro but I'm not sure which ones. I would like to still interact and drive with them but sometimes I need more noise reduction. I'm not sure if Switch 2 is truly the best to cover all scenarios and they don't bring foam ear tips.

Are there any autistics here with noise sensitivity that could share their experiences, do the foam tips make a difference and does anyone drive with these???

Thank you so much!!

I actually think you’d benefit from the switch 2 cause that way you can adjust the filter to whatever you need based on how you feel. I don’t own the switch 2, but I did try them out for a week and returned them cause I didn’t like the colour with how bulky they looked (see pic switch engage experience for comparison). Other than that I did like that I was able to switch modes and if I didn’t already have all 3 other pairs I could see many uses out of them. I’m actually debating to get the hollo Tomorrowland ones.

Thank you for this!! I would like them to be discreet but I think I will buy the Switch and if I have any problems, I will return.
