I don't have an answer. But certain sounds annoy me, too. They always have, but it's worse than ever now.

And why do they (what I call) "over-sound" movies and TV shows. OMG, those creaking saddles, slurpy kisses, smacking eating sounds.

Oh, let's not forget that gravelly voice affectation that the young people have been using for a few years now. ANNOYING. I swear that one of these days I'm going to respond with that voice just so they can hear how stupid they sound.

Hi diguilio

I am sensitive to certain sounds - including some music and voices.

If I can't avoid the noise, I try to put my focus on something else, such as my breathing.

I don't have an answer. But certain sounds annoy me, too. They always have, but it's worse than ever now.

I have experienced mild nausea from the background music on a particular TV commercial, and need to quickly change the channel whenever it comes on.

Take Care

There is a T.V. commercial for some car where the music goes up and down to the beat.
That one makes me sick, literally. And strobe lights, yikes!!!!

Certain noises can get me. A loud motorcycle, car, bus,loud bass, rooms/areas that echo can get in my head and it just rattles around - no other way to describe it.

I wear earbuds on the street to take the edge off - not soundproof though, as it would be dangerous while walking. It takes the edge off.

If somewhere that I can't put them in, I sometimes try to discreetly cover my ears. I also try to focus on something else.

It's not one particular sound but in a place with multiple, different sounds I can go insane. Sometimes I have to turn the TV on mute to have a conversation, forget the food court in a mall and even at family gatherings where there's multiple people and kids I could pull my hair out. Of course there's the sounds I couldn't stand before MS like someone smacking their food but after MS I could reach across the table and strangle them lol.

For me yes, but I think it is MS and not age. The music in grocery stores, malls and restaurants has become so exhausting. I really limit my time in places like that. Movie theaters blast the sound...I am convinced that this young generation now will not be able to hear at all when they are my age.

I always carry earplugs that I purchased at Guitar Center. Musicians use them and the plugs actually improve the sound quality at events, like concerts and movies. If I don’t wear them, the I seem to vibrate internally for hours...sigh.
