Struggling with noise sensitivity

73074

I have been struggling with noise sensitivity since a really young age and this affects me in daily life. I have tried numerous different noise cancellation headphones however I cannot sit in the same room as someone eating. I can’t stand sitting in a room when there’s a clock in it. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this and has found effective ways to deal with it.
thank you.

  • I probably have music on , for 90% of my day , usually on a speaker. 

    So ppl eating - yes I mask that with the TV or music on a Echo speaker - they're in every room in my house except bathroom 

    I have tinnitus too an so use music all day to distact me from that.

    I don't have any old style clicking clocks - and not sure if I'd find that soothing or triggering myself.

    I'm trying different things for sleep at the moment - someone mentioned rain/thunder on this forum - which seems really successful.  i've always loved the sound of rain, and the smell too.

    I'm also going to try some high frequency tinnitus playlists on Spotify , as this is supposed to be good as my tinnitus is high pitch and even though my hearing (tested twice recently) is normal, there's a dip a high frequency where my tinnitus sits.

    I my wear NC headphones say for an hour a day max myself, but whatever works for you.

    I find being outside, surrounded by trees/nature is a very relaxing soundscape where I don't need music and my tinnitus drops when my anxiety falls.  Sadly living in a town, noise is hard to escape.
