• 0:35
  What's going on? The place where we think
• 0:36
  differently daily. What is up my different think of
• 0:39
  fam. You guys are awesome.
• 0:41
  And yeah, I just want to let you guys know that I have a free PDF
• 0:45
  Autism Life Hacks book that you can download from
• 0:47
  autismhacks.net right now. OK?
• 0:50
  So basically I get a lot of questions a lot of the time.
• 0:54
  So parents and people who are concerned with sensory
• 0:56
  processing disorder always ask me questions on ear defending
• 0:59
  and ear defenders etcetera. For people on the autism
• 1:02
  spectrum. Now you maybe went down, why has
• 1:04
  ear defenders got anything to do with autism?
• 1:06
  Well, because you asked so nicely.
• 1:09
  The reason is that sensory processing disorder comes hand
• 1:12
  in hand with autism Like I did a video on like different types of
• 1:15
  traits and stuff of autism. And sensory processing disorder
• 1:18
  is part of the autism diagnosis due to the fact of the
• 1:20
  sensitivity to like sound, smell, all this kind of stuff.
• 1:23
  So being no exception to sensory processing disorder is sound.
• 1:27
  So sounds can rock people you know the wrong way.
• 1:31
  You know you could listen to a sound and it might make you feel
• 1:33
  sick. Sound may be too overpowering,
• 1:35
  maybe too low. He may be over sensitive under
• 1:37
  sensitive to sound. But a lot of the time a lot of
• 1:40
  autistic people are always sensitive to sound.
• 1:42
  But that being said, sometimes you just want to block out that
• 1:44
  noise that you can just chill and focus because it's very
• 1:47
  triggering cause meltdowns. And anybody watching this right
• 1:50
  now, parents especially who understand what I mean.
• 1:52
  Yeah, you don't want to have meltdowns because of sound.
• 1:54
  So how do we combat this? Now, there are a few ways that
• 1:59
  we can do this. One way is that we can just put
• 2:01
  our fingers in our ears. I've got hands over our ears
• 2:04
  like this and that sometimes can work, but practically that's not
• 2:11
  going to work. So I have with me, I have some
• 2:15
  ear defenders. So I have two ear defenders.
• 2:18
  I'm going to talk about 3 ear defenders here, but I have two
• 2:20
  of them here and the other one I'll just talk about.
• 2:22
  So basically what we're going to show you here now is, is some E
• 2:26
  defenders. So I'm going to start off with
• 2:28
  the first ones here. And I'm also going to take some
• 2:31
  cutaways with my iPhone that you guys can see.
• 2:33
  So the first ones here are these Apple Airpods.
• 2:37
  Now, these things are super, super awesome.
• 2:39
  They're very small. They fit in this little compact
• 2:41
  case, and they're very small. They're just these little tiny
• 2:43
  Airpods. Now, the interesting thing about
• 2:45
  the Airpods is that they're just so compact.
• 2:47
  They're absolutely brilliant. You can just, like literally pop
• 2:50
  them in this like tiny little matchbox case and they charge.
• 2:53
  This is a charging case as well. So you pop them in this little
• 2:55
  tiny case and then you can take them around the world.
• 2:58
  It just slips in your back pocket.
• 3:00
  Hey presto, look at that tiny, tiny, awesome, lovely little
• 3:03
  case. And it charges them as well,
• 3:05
  which I really do love. Now, these little bad boys are
• 3:08
  so unique because there's a tiny button here at the side that you
• 3:11
  can click in, right? And this button actually helps
• 3:15
  you stop outside noise. So this is actually noise
• 3:19
  cancelling. Now when you put these in, if
• 3:22
  you click this button, you can actually activate the noise
• 3:24
  cancellation feature, which basically sucks out all the
• 3:27
  noise from around you and completely makes it silent.
• 3:30
  So it's kind of like EMF. So you can put them in and have
• 3:32
  them as normal headphones or wireless headphones, whatever.
• 3:34
  That's great. But then you can just flick a
• 3:36
  button and it sucks all the air out and then all the noise out
• 3:40
  of the air and then what you're left with is just like a
• 3:42
  complete silence. This is amazing.
• 3:44
  Now, I've used these on a plane to Los Angeles for 10 hours,
• 3:48
  right? And they were just incredible
• 3:52
  because of these that, you know, the quality of these versus the
• 3:55
  size of them and the compact, you know, the ease ability of
• 3:58
  using this thing. Very, very good.
• 4:00
  Highly recommended. But they're a bit expensive.
• 4:02
  They're about 260 lbs or $260 roughly, and they're just a
• 4:07
  little bit expensive. But then again, you get what you
• 4:09
  pay for at the end of the day. So if you want something to last
• 4:11
  you a long time then well these ones definitely want to to go
• 4:14
  for now. Moving on is keeping in.
• 4:21
  Yeah, well keeping in theme with the the noise cancelling
• 4:25
  headphones. I actually have these as well.
• 4:27
  So these are Bose headphones. Now the Bose headphones.
• 4:30
  Kevin, this is snazzy case which I'm going to show you right now
• 4:33
  and this case actually provides. It's like I think it's like a
• 4:37
  leather round case. I think it's real leather.
• 4:39
  I'm not entirely sure, I'm not excessively happy since I'm
• 4:41
  vegan, but whatever. But these are made by Bose now.
• 4:44
  Bose. Those are really good electronic
• 4:45
  to make and they come with all the wiring and stuff you need
• 4:48
  and this. Cool thing for an airplane if
• 4:50
  you want to plug them into the thing in the airplane.
• 4:52
  Which is cool, but this is them. They're foldable, they're
• 4:55
  collapsible, and they're just so good, right?
• 4:58
  These are both headphones, right?
• 5:00
  So this is what they look like. And that little switch on the
• 5:02
  side there stops the IT will attend them on and actually
• 5:07
  activates the noise cancelling feature.
• 5:08
  So you can use these as passive headphones.
• 5:10
  You can put in like a lead there and listen like a cable, and you
• 5:13
  can listen to just typically use them as just normal headphones.
• 5:18
  But if you want to use the noise cancelling feature, you just
• 5:22
  flip that switch. Boom, they've got noise
• 5:23
  cancelling. It comes on automatically.
• 5:25
  And these are very impressive. Now they're so impressive,
• 5:28
  actually, that it's ridiculous how good these are.
• 5:31
  I used these on a plane back in 2019, again when I went to Los
• 5:34
  Angeles. Sorry, back in 2018 when I was
• 5:37
  going to Los Angeles, it was a 10 or 11 hour flight and these
• 5:40
  things just absolutely nailed it.
• 5:42
  They're so comfy that they really, really are squishy on
• 5:46
  the side. So they're very, very comfy for
• 5:47
  your head, almost knock myself outland and in comparison to
• 5:51
  these okay. So size wise this one wins, but
• 5:56
  user functionality this one wins.
• 5:59
  These are better at cancelling noise than these ones.
• 6:03
  So if you look at something that's going to really
• 6:04
  completely kind of, you know, noise cancelling feature, which
• 6:07
  is super dope, these ones are your boys, these ones are good,
• 6:10
  but they're not as good as these ones.
• 6:11
  So my recommendation for the two, these two here, I would say
• 6:15
  that it depends what you're kind of going for.
• 6:17
  These are cool if you like day-to-day want to get rid of
• 6:19
  sound noise cancelling. And these are cool if you want
• 6:22
  to go on a plane and go long distances and all kinds of stuff
• 6:26
  and like really loud places. Now, the price difference.
• 6:29
  These ones are about £350, like $300.00 roughly I guess, and
• 6:33
  then these ones are about 100 dollars, £100 cheaper.
• 6:36
  They're still very expensive, but again, they're very quality.
• 6:39
  They are quality. Now the third pair headphones
• 6:42
  that I wanted to talk about with typically ear defenders for
• 6:45
  children. Now you can buy child ear
• 6:47
  defenders on Amazon, which I will leave a link for everything
• 6:50
  I'm talking about in the description down below.
• 6:52
  And I'll put a picture on the screen here of what the actual
• 6:54
  headphones that I'm talking about are.
• 6:56
  And these are child earmuffs that look similar to the Bose,
• 7:00
  but they're actually just, they're just, they're not
• 7:01
  headphones. They're just leave just
• 7:02
  earmuffs. You put them on and then they
• 7:04
  block out all the sound, kind of like what you'd see in a
• 7:06
  construction site. But the good thing is they make
• 7:09
  these four children in children's colours and
• 7:11
  children's sizes, and they're highly effective.
• 7:13
  Now if you've got a child who doesn't really want to wear
• 7:14
  headphones, but they want to block out noise and they don't
• 7:16
  want to have all this fancy tech and you don't want to spend, you
• 7:18
  know, $200.00 on stuff like that, you can spend like 10
• 7:21
  bucks or 10 lbs on these, like ear defending.
• 7:26
  I don't know, just passive kind of ear defenders.
• 7:28
  But they actually work very well because obviously, you know,
• 7:30
  industry standard. So there are some choices for
• 7:33
  you now. If you think you have any of
• 7:34
  this to add to this list, please pop it in a comment down below
