Be careful with damaging your hearing. A common side effect is tinnitus, which is basically hearing a constant distracting noise that you basically can't do nothing about. If you're prone to be distracted by noises, and want to do work that requires focus, tinnitus will likely be a life-altering catastrophe for you.


Thanks for your concern but as a kid I had constant ear infections so I have had tinnitus all my life even now a high pitched ring is constant. I don't even notice it unless I think about it I'm so used to it. But the loud static certainly won't do it any good!

This tinnitus mitigating trick on reddit somewhat works, it's odd: https://np.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/3l3uri/these_guys_light...
