Quiet hair dryer?

[bournville]

An admittedly Kardashianesque question but drying my hair is a right pain without a hair dryer and they are so flipping loud! Currently using ear protection to dry my hair with a dryer which is an annoying. Can anyone here recommend a quiet hair dryer? - please don’t say a towel…..

Hi Bournville, your post raised a sympathetic smile from me. I wear ear protection when I use a vacuum cleaner. It's largely why I never answer the phone or door when I'm vacuuming!Ironic that many of us with T also have hyperacusis which makes simple tasks such as hair-drying and hoovering a bit of a trial.I found this product on Amazon, but I don't use an electric hairdryer myself so it's just a suggestion that might point you in the right direction.

It's time someone invented a quiet hairdryer 🙂

I have actually got what is claimed to be one of the quietest hairdryers on the market at the moment and it is still relatively loud. I think you are going to struggle to get a really quiet one

I'm the same as bridgeit and just wear ear protection.

Hi bournville, you are not the 1st to ask this question on the forum 😉 (it may be worth having a look at previous recommendations). Its definitely not a 'Kardashianesque', all you are doing is wanting to live well with your T, which is a really healthy thing to do 👍

These 2 pages may be helpful as they have some info on DB level.

This is really helpful...I may have to invest in another hairdryer if they are as quiet as they say they are

Since I was 12, I have always wet one square of toilet paper and balled it up for each ear for blow drying. I’m 57 and it still works!
