What are some other uses of ChatterBlocker?
ChatterBlocker can be helpful for masking other types of sound, such as traffic noise, airplane noise, neighbor noise, unwanted music, etc. ChatterBlocker may also be helpful in a variety of conditions involving noise sensitivity. Hyperacousis is an extreme sensitivity to sound, often associated with tinnitus (ringing in the ears). In one study, 43% of classical musicians reported symptoms of hyperacousis. People with hyperacousis are often tempted to plug their ears to minimize their sound exposure, but this can actually increase their sensitivity because it increase’s the brain’s amplification of sounds. Pleasant, low-level background sounds can help reduce the sound phobia. ChatterBlocker’s Listening Meditation may be of use for this purpose as well. Some people with Asperger Syndrome are also extremely sensitive to sounds and may have trouble blocking out distractions. We have had anecdotal reports that ChatterBlocker can be useful for these conditions.
