Hi does anyone else suffer from the inability to block out noise? I hear my neighbours, I hear the traffic, car doors slamming, flat doors slamming, barking dogs and I can’t block any of it out. I live with noise cancelling headphones on all the time, it is now affecting my gait so I’ve been advised to not wear them so much but it is the only way I can deal with the world. I find it is much worse when I don’t sleep and I never sleep well. I feel overwhelmed with the noise around me and lost. Does it ever get better? The older I get the worse it gets. I’m having difficulty dealing with every day life. Does it ever get any better? I feel like if I couldn’t hear anymore, it would be a relief. I’m constantly exhausted. Everyone try’s to take your money by promising this supplement will help, or dietary changes will make it better. Has anyone found anything that makes it better?
I feel so much better knowing that I’m not the only one suffering with something like this. But their is something else I have an issue with that I haven’t seen on here, I have an issue with hearing certain sounds or shall I say letters. For example the word snake the ‘sss’ irritates me so I can’t watch a lot of tv or can’t speak to certain people if they pronounce their letter ‘s’ strongly! Also i can’t deal with it when I hear someone else Tv and all I can hear is that sound where it’s like someone is just hissing.
I don’t know if this makes any sense to any one? I finally went to the doctors a year ago and I am seeing audiologist they haven’t done much yet, just lots of testing. I’m wondering if their is anyone one that has this particular issue. I do wear ear buds but their not strong enough to block out all sound.
