I don't have this problem, but I do enjoy silence. I use earplugs, having more silence I can focus more energy and thought to a single task. I also like white noise, ( a fan ). Thanks for the video.

One professional 'fireproof' absorbtion foam 52 mm thick and size of 1 x 1,2 meter, costs me about $100. When bought in greater amount one can get a significant reduction. Made 'artistic' with a design on a simple open woven cloth it's also less prisonlike...

Thank you very much for the information.

About the materials used here, I agree with you about the risk of fire, but it is possible to avoid it taking care of sockets, cigarettes, etc, for some time. Your recommendation over this point is maybe the best decision, but a little bit expensive.

Thanks for you comments. Yes noise cancelling headphones are very useful to protect our ears in many different situations and places, but as you may read on The Hyperacusis Network, it is very important to have at least one place at home that could be enough quite to rest and to be away from extremely noise coming from outside, especially at night.

Two pitfals:

1. Main advice in case of hyperacusis and tinnitus is not to flee into silence.

Use for the same money a professional Electric Noise Cancellation combined with background noise, like sea white/pink noise ect.

2. To me the used materials like foam rubber and especialy styrofoam will act like a NAPALM Bombardment in case of a FIRE.

Proper professional absorb materials will be fireproof, almost impossible to catch a flame.

Ok, thats your opinion, but for me what I show in this video was a good way to protect my ears from noise in a proper level (not too much, just the necessary), and to get better in a very short period of time. If you think theres a high risk of fire, then you have to take care about the sockets, cigarettes, etc, for some time.
