Mass Effect:

There have been many anecdotes of ASMR occurring in day-to-day life. As every person has their own set of triggers that cause ASMR for them, and not everyone can or has experienced it though, it's difficult to give concrete examples. However, the following are some common examples of the effect being caused unintentionally.

Getting a haircut/A doctor's visit:

These situations often include soft sounds close to your ears, like scissors snipping hair close to your head or your doctor examining your ears. Individualized attention and touch from your hairdresser or doctor, with a lot of quiet time can also explain this.
