I often find myself reading something on the bus or subway, but then not understand anything I read. This seems to be because of the constant noises. Not even instrumental music helps, as that distracts me as well and also does not always match the theme of the book.

The best working one in noisy places seems to be white noise, with complete silence being the best overall. How do yall handle such situations?

    Same I can’t belive there’s people who don’t hear thoughts like that. I couldn’t see myself reading nearly as much as I do if I couldn’t “hear” it when I’m reading

      i feel like i’m the opposite, if i’m still “hearing” the words after a few paragraphs then something is wrong, it’s more like a movie, the words aren’t even there
