I'm right there with you.
There is so much to unpack here regarding ANC, noise dosage, hearing loss etc. I find it super fascinating.
Of course, a good pair of ANC earbuds/headphones would have been perfectly suitable for the job.
Nonetheless, thanks for watching, @Satir. Happy to hear you found it interesting.
I use a set of Sony WH-1000MX2 for cutting the grass, weed-whacking, and escaping the sound of other people's lawn equipment when I want to listen to music. I've adjusted the EQ with the Sony app on my phone, and they are a decent temporary stand-in for my non-ANC headphones (Focal Clear, HD-600).
As a psychologist, I've used the Sony routinely for doing telehealth therapy sessions during the pandemic. Clients hear me clearly (although I can barely hear myself talk while wearing them), and they hear not much of the noisy window air conditioner about eight feet behind me.
