Does music helps to increase focus?

[BeverlyTazz]

Have you ever tried listening to music with your headphones on as you do your work in the office? I feel that it helps me to focus better. With the added function of noise cancelling it blocks most of the outside noise so that you can only hear the music. I felt that I became more productive with the headphones on than to not wearing them at all. What about you?

Sorry for bumping, but I also like listening to music when working(no matter at home or in the office). But what about hearing damage? Isn't it harmful to my hearing? Should I take breaks?

As long as it's not cranked to 10 you should be fine.

That depends. In the make-up trailer, we always listen to music, all genre's. For me, if I am doing a creative look or a very basic look, music helps me focus.

On-the-other-hand, if me or another MuA is creating a new look for a character that needs to be established, or for a camera test, then no, music tends to be a distraction, so we turn it off, especially when there are discussions with executives, producers, and network types "looking over your shoulder" so-to-speak.

It does for me. Whether I’m in the office or at home, it helps tune out (pardon the pun) the other distractions that occur around me like hallway conversations, dogs barking, etc. It also helps my mood especially if I’m really feeling crappy or just not in the mood to work lol

Highly depends on the kind of music. Sometimes music helps me to don't hear the constant ringing in my ears (some people call it tinnitus). It is a very annoying thing and even considered to get myself some hearing aids, but according to online hearing test , my hearing is absolutely fine and i just don't need those yet.

Yeah, I love it too. Even I believe one must do things which make them happy. It will help in increasing the productivity and efficiency at work. It's my perception!
