No the noise canceling nausea is real for me too. I think it’s bc our balance is in our ears, when we block things out, more sensitive bodies feel weird (I’m prone to air sickness, sea sickness). I usually use noise canceling when I’m in very loud places (airplanes, when sirens go off on my city walks, etc.). When there still are noises that come through, the noise canceling I don’t make me feel nauseated but if it’s already quiet I kind do?

Yeah, I’m also very prone to motion sickness so I’m not surprised. I’m testing it out on the subway and it feels fine, so thanks for the suggestion!

Also there was an op Ed or other piece about revisiting Dahl/should we change Dahl in the NYT a bit ago that was a good read!
