The office where many people work is full of various noise, such as telephone and copy sounds, speaking and footsteps.HSP, whose hearing is irritable, is stimulated by the small sound and is tired and cannot concentrate on his work.Also, if you suddenly hear a loud noise during work, you will be surprised by your heart.

If you are worried about the sound, try to block the sound with earplugs or earphones.Recently, many earphones with noise canceling effects are on the market, so if you use the one that suits you, you can consider the hearing stimulus considerably.

However, when using earphones at work, you need to understand the surroundings.It would be nice to explain to others that you can't concentrate because you are worried about the sound and seek understanding.

In a workplace where earphones cannot be used, if you go to work a little early in the morning and enter the intensive office in a quiet office, it is difficult to concentrate on the way.It may be good to use the empty conference room alone.

If the sound cannot be blocked, it is also effective to control your consciousness.Focus your nerves on a sense other than hearing and distract you.

For example, if you are working on a personal computer, focus your consciousness on the tactile sensation of the finger hitting the keyboard.If you write with a pen, concentrate on the feel of the pen.

You need a little practice, but if you have a habit of controlling your consciousness in this way, it will be easier to concentrate on your work when you can't physically block the sound.
