My biggest issue is the decibel level. I can hear, for now, but the decibel level on those things makes one of my ears feel like it’s being blasted out of my skull and induces ringing.

I use the paper because it doesn’t hurt my ear.

Yes, I’ve seen a doctor, it simply is what it is and my only recourse for that ear is to wear ear protection. In any public restroom, apparently.

My daughter is extremely noise sensitive and can't handle the noise of those either. After a really rough 2 hour drive involving 3 gas station stops because she refused to even try to use one due to the auto-flushing toilet my wife suggested "making an app to track public bathrooms with air dryers and autoflushing toilets" and I've been debating if I want to start tagging every public bathroom I visit on Open Street Map with the toilet flush mechanism and existence of air dryers. And if i did so I'd probably also mark what changing table amenities are available and if there's more/less changing table amenities in the womens' or mens' rooms.

Time to get some good noise cancelling headphones for your daughter
