A natural way to answer

I use a pair of small wireless earbuds. I wear them mainly on my way to work and when I go for a walk. I like that they are light and easy to carry in my pocket.

Key phrases to use

  • block out — to stop sound, light, or thoughts from reaching you“I wear earplugs to block out the traffic.”
  • losing track of — no longer knowing where something is or what is happening with it“I keep losing track of my keys.”
