Sensory issues worsening with age?

Wordsmith

My wife and I went shopping in Glasgow this morning, and after the first two shops I had to stay outside – the noise and particularly the visual overload was simply overwhelming. As we talked about it later, we realized that five years ago I could have coped much better. Has anyone else noticed their sensory problems getting worse as you get older?

  • Yes mine have. My main issue used to be smell, but I am far less tolerant of noise and bright lights these days. I had to go into work last minute because I couldn't log on recently, so had to take my laptop in for a fix. Not only did I find the background noise and lights difficult, but it was the day they test the fire alarm. When I got home it felt like I could breathe in the fresh air and start to relax.
