Very much the same. Noises, especially from the kitchen - dropped pot lid, silverware going the floor, send him into a panic. I try to get ahead of it and announce the event as it's happening, since the sound itself is not something he associates with the event. It is tiring - so much is tiring- even more so because it's Groundhog Day: he'll have the same reaction every time, over and over. But he's sweet and not angry and never complains. It could be a lot worse.
