    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.

      Huh, I’ve gotten these attacks periodically over the years, generally associated with drinking beer. I’ve always chalked it up to a salivary gland reaction/malfunction, but the description is exactly what I experience, like someone is driving a spike through my jaw behind the hinge.

      It’s pretty occasional, so it’s not like I stopped drinking beer or anything insane like that. But good to know.

        This isn’t associated with anything, unfortunately. I wish it was. It’s mostly under control with medication, but flare-ups can happen any time, anywhere.

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

          I misread, I thought they said anyone listening while on transit not just anyone period. Makes more sense now.

        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.
