Wearing headphones can prevent interruptions even if you're not listening to music.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (61/100).

The claim that wearing headphones can prevent interruptions even if you're not listening to music is supported by evidence suggesting that headphones, particularly noise-cancelling ones, can create a quieter environment and signal a 'do not disturb' message. Sources like Bose and Wiesner-Hager indicate that headphones can reduce distractions in noisy environments, such as open-plan offices. However, the effectiveness may vary depending on the context and individual perceptions.
