When everything is too loud

Open-plan office, supermarket at six o'clock, airport terminal, family dinner with three conversations running at once. There's a point where input stops being background and starts being the only thing there is — and the usual answer, push through it, works right up until it doesn't.

One thing that helps some people is having a single predictable input to hold onto while everything else stays chaotic. That's what an alternating left-right rhythm is: slow, regular, and completely predictable.

How people use ALMA for this

• Step out first if you can. A corridor, a car, a bathroom — anywhere with fewer inputs. Ten minutes there beats thirty in the middle of it.
• Slow rhythm, comfortable intensity. Strong enough to be the thing you're paying attention to, gentle enough not to add to the pile.
• Light off in bright environments. One less input.
• Headphones with the bilateral tones. This is the situation where the audio library earns its place — it replaces the noise instead of layering on top of it.
• Keep them accessible. In a coat pocket rather than the bottom of a bag.

Being clear

If sensory overload is a regular and significant part of your life, that's a conversation to have with a professional who knows your situation. ALMA is a consumer wellness tool, not an assessment, a treatment, or a substitute for one.
