Why Background Noise Helps ADHD Focus
Jan 700:30:22Tap to summarizeMany people with ADHD discover they focus better with sound in the background—but not just any sound. For some, it’s the subtle hum of a fan or motor, not music or conversation, that makes concentration easier. When loyal listener Jessie shared how low-level background noise helps him focus, it sparked the idea for this episode. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) explores how white noise—and what he calls white light and white experiences—can create environmental conditions that support focus for the ADHD brain. Joined by co-host Caroline Maguire, Jeff defines these concepts, explains why they work, and shares real-life examples of how adjusting your environment can reduce distraction and improve attention.
