My experience has been fine once I got some good noise canceling headphones, before that I had serious issues concentrating. My main issue is not having long uninterrupted blocks of time to complete projects that require a lot of focus.

For me headphones don’t help. The constant peripheral movement and people walking aroundbehind me are the biggest issues, just triggers a fight vs flight reflex to constantly check where people are around me.

Lighting and other environmental factors are second biggest issue.

You are not the only one: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/10/17/panasonics-wearable-blinke...

The simple fact that Panasonic sees a (profitable) need for something like their Human Blinkers, it feels more like a cure for the symptom and not the cause.

Yea visual stimulation is _at least_ as distracting as audial for me as well.

I'm not sure I get the fight or flight response, but I certainly am constantly aware of the people walking by constantly.
