Urban environments can be loud. Living in such a loud environment is challenging for many. I’ll give you a couple tips on how to cope with urban noise.

First, find quiet spaces. Even though you are in the city, you can find some places which are quiet. This may be in your home, or outside at a big park or empty cafe.

Second, use headphones. Headphones give you some control over what you are listening to, even while out in public. You can also wear headphones and not play anything on them, just to block the noise from your environment.

Although your ears may be sensitive to noise, you may be able to adapt to a noisy environment.
