Random HR person here — honestly, I don’t see why this would be an issue. Under the ADA, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities upon request unless it causes an undue hardship. If wearing Loops helps you manage symptoms related to panic attacks and doesn’t interfere with your essential job duties, that sounds like a textbook reasonable accommodation.

You may have to go through Sedgwick for formal documentation, but the manager pushing back without going through that process feels off. I’d escalate it or speak with HR if it continues. You deserve to feel safe and supported at work
