Loud noises echo in your head?

Stuart333

I have a kind of mixed sensitivity to sound.

One thing, if I hear a loud noise, like a bang or dropping something on a hard surface, I hear the sound replaying in my mind for say 10 or more seconds. I can replay it. It is liike I am trying analyse the recording. I can push it away after say 20 secs. I assume this may not be normal.

It means somewhere noisy can be quite distracting as I can concentrate till I stop it.

  • I experience something similar with sudden loud sounds. It‘s less of an echo, but rather what you might see in movies when the main character stands next to an explosion. So this kind of "shock“ish state in which I cannot concentrate on anything but the sound. I then need about 5-10 seconds to kind of snap out of it, sometimes longer, depending on the situation (do I have clear instructions to follow? Am I in a social setting? Etc.)
