Unbearable Noises

Millicent_Bystander

Hi,

I get deeply distressed hearing eating, slurping and licking noises, particularly the dog washing himself because it happens so often. I'm pleased he does keep clean! But he's quite noisy, OH thinks so too, so it's not just my sensitivity. Spending most of the time at home wearing ANC earphones,  if I don't I'm stressed, anxious and physically tense, waiting for it to happen.

I've tried increasing my tolerance, only managing a few seconds and going back to square one constantly.

Any advice on how to tolerate these sounds better, relax around them?

  • I think noise cancelling for extended periods there some evidence emerging excessive use and reliance on them could be bad for your tolerance

    I have to use noise masking most of the time for the noises you describe (although I have no dog) so the radio will be on when we eat or the TV - but I limit use of the noise cancelling headphones to 1-2 hours a day
