How Can Noise Cancelling Headphones Help with ASD and Autism

By wearing noise-cancelling headphones a person with ASD can eliminate most of the background noise and reduce what remains to a manageable level. This makes it possible to concentrate on other tasks, relax, play games with others and many more activities that are normally difficult or impossible. As well as helping the wearer it’s convenient for the rest of the family too, as they can go about whatever they’re doing in the normal way. A good pair of headphones is also comfortable enough to be worn in bed if necessary, and can help the wearer to get a good night’s sleep without being woken up by noise. Plugs or ear defenders have been used for similar purposes for many years but noise-cancelling ones are far more effective; as well as absorbing much of the noise they actively work to cancel what remains. They can also be connected to a media player and used to play music, therapeutic sounds or even audio books. Of course any conventional headphones that cover the ears can also be used for this but noise, especially low frequencies, can still penetrate.

When choosing noise-cancelling headphones the main factors to consider are comfort and noise reduction capability. If headphones are uncomfortable your child will be reluctant to wear them, and children who’re hypersensitive to sound are also often very sensitive to physical sensations and the texture of objects. A set that completely enclose the ears rather than sitting flat on them will usually be more comfortable as well as blocking noise more effectively. The material of the ear cups is also important. Some synthetic materials can trap moisture, causing an unpleasant clammy feeling. Inert protein cushioning is usually the most comfortable.

The headphones’ noise reduction ability is obviously very important. Most models reduce low frequency sounds very effectively, but are less effective at cancelling higher frequencies. Unfortunately many of the noises that cause the biggest problems for people with ASD are high pitched, and children’s’ ears are much more sensitive to high frequencies than adults’. That means you should look for headphones with full-spectrum noise reduction, such as the SmartStereo Headphones capable of reducing sounds by at least 28 decibels are required for the best results.

It’s not a good idea for your child to wear noise cancelling headphones all the time; as well as shutting them off from social interactions, which they should be encouraged to develop as much as possible, they could also become over-reliant on the headphones if they wear them too often. Instead they should be kept for when noise becomes an immediate problem. This will also give your child confidence, as they can experience the environment while knowing they have support available if the aural stimulation becomes too much for them. Depending on the age and self-confidence of your child they may be able to decide for themselves when they need to use them, or you can make the decision when it’s obvious they’re having trouble with noise.

If you’re the parent of an autistic child you’ll know that finding coping strategies can be difficult and there’s no magic solution that works for everyone, but there’s growing evidence that where hypersensitivity to sound is a problem noise-cancelling headphones work very well for many people. If your child wakes up often in the night, has trouble concentrating or often becomes agitated by noise levels they’re definitely worth trying.
