Anyone who finds the world too loud. Many people we reach are autistic or have ADHD, as noise sensitivity is common with both, but you need no diagnosis, label or reason to belong here.

No. We never assume a diagnosis and never require one. You are welcome simply because sound affects you.

It means everyday sounds can feel more intense, distracting or overwhelming than they do for other people. The difficulty sits in the environment, not in you. Read our full guide to noise sensitivity.

hushri is made for adults, and its tools and features are not intended for children to use. Children can be noise-sensitive too, and they often show it differently, so everything we share about children is written to help parents and carers. If you are concerned about a child, your GP, health visitor or their school can help.
