    Not everyone can wear headphones all the time.

    Me, for example. I can wear headphones for maybe 45 minutes before the pain gets too intense and I need to take a 10 minute break.

      Not who you replied to but I’m sure you don’t blast music or other audio on transit when you need the break.

        Let me know which bones which aren’t affected by the trigeminal nerve being near them that I can put those headphones on.

          I looked it up trying to be helpful. Supposedly, bone conductive can overstimulate the nerve clusters - resulting in an attack of sorts. Most likely because they press on and vibrate the temples.

          That really blows. I’d rather lose a finger. Sorry to learn of it.

          In the spirit of the request, I would suggest beanie headphones. Assuming it’s cool enough out, and you can tolerate a beanie, they may fit the bill.

            Thankfully it’s not an issue these days, but I’d be willing to try it if it becomes one again. Thanks.
