If You Work From Home, Noise-Cancelling Headphones Are A Must

Working from home, you get to avoid all of the noise that accompanies an office environment, including those untimely interruptions by colleagues stopping by to chat. However, a WFH environment presents its own set of challenges, ranging from the sound of your neighbors’ lawnmowers and weed-eaters to household noises and loud family members.

Fortunately, active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones can block all of those sounds to help you focus on work (or gaming – we won’t judge). And this can lead to enhanced productivity. “With fewer interruptions and distractions, you can work more efficiently and accomplish tasks more quickly,” according to Dr. Sapna Sriram, chiropractor and injury expert at Integra Health in Toronto. “This can improve your overall productivity, making noise-canceling headphones a valuable tool for remote work,” she tells us.
