Sound sensitivity ever go away?

Wow! I'm interested in the answer to that as well! I still have some horrid tinnitus at times, other times it stays at a low roar. I would sooo love to be rid of that!

Lotusrising,

My daughter was very sensitive to sound as well. I was not allowed to have a "normal" conversation with her at a normal decibel level. If I forgot myself and spoke in a normal tone, she literally recoiled away from me with a pained look on her face.

The good news is that that was one of the first symptoms that went away when she started to get better. In fact, we have switched roles now. She listens to her music too loud,, and I am always telling her to not speak as loud when she is right next to me!

So yes, that miserable symptom is completely reversible.

When I was at my worst, the lights and noise from grocery stores and other busy places could set in motion a down-ward spiral that took days to recover from. I used to use a MP3 player with very soft soothing music playing every time I would go out and use a hat with a big brim on it. These things helped me soooo much!!

When at home, I had to literally stick my fingers in my ears when someone spoke to me - phone conversations were even harder! I could still hear the person just fine and yet it didn't hurt as much. Of course this took a lot of explaining to my hubby!! LOL!

Still today, when ever I feel totally overloaded or overwhelmed (as only Lymies can understand), I still retreat into doing those things.

Maybe you could try experimenting a bit with things like that to help you ease through these times? Just a thought!

good to 'hear' that for some, symtoms went away. yeah.


I am 'bugging' out from sounds.

I recoil physically, getting ansty like a toddler,
with lawn mowers, outside equ sounds

and my neighbors, insulation in my home isnt good homes are too close together, ( regret getting this house)

I am getting soundabsortion pads, things for my walls.

I had to do something, I have a headset, but does not help completley and not comfortable to wear all the time

I was going to scream at my neighbors at the top of my lungs

so I had to shell out money for these soundprrofing things, hope it works,

focusing on some kind of solution helped
so I did not wig out.

this is a very expensive disease.
