Ear buds, ear phones and such can do this.
The Buffalo protocol is based on finding the pain threshold of effort and staying just below it for repeated efforts then slowly increasing the level of effort in week to two week stages, always staying below the pain or other symptom trigger threshold.

Yes Mark, I do use ear buds for podcasts and even other times to screen out ambient noise.
About the Buffalo protocol, do you think the same principle would work for things like talking and listening to podcasts, or does it only refer to exercise?
The drugs I was referring to in my original post were prescription drugs like nortriptyline, which I just increased from 40 to 50 MG daily. When I was on the prednisone, I did more activity because I did not have a headache, but when I cameoff the prednisone, my condition was worse than before I started it, possibly because I increased activity .
Thanks again for all the help I am getting.
Joe
