Sensory issues

Slater1

Hello all. 

I'm awaiting an assessment for diagnosis, it's a 27 month wait list and my god am I struggling. I find my main struggles are sounds. I'm struggling to sleep because things are waking me, cars on the road, dogs barking, others in the house moving around.....the smallest of things. I've got white noise playing when I sleep and also sometimes have ear plugs in. If I'm at home and sat watching TV etc and I hear a dog bark, loud car pass my house etc it really triggers me, I can only describe it as making me feel ill and angry. I hate these feelings. Not sure what I can do. There's a list of other things too but the sounds is definitely the worst! Any advice would be so appreciated 

Thanks

Lois

  • buy yourself sound dampening headphones and get used to wearing them all the time, you can even sleep in them,

    though complete lack of sound for longer periods of time is eerie, and might cause you discomfort too, so you would have to find  balance between them, and it doesn't stop tinnitus
