Noise (hearing) Sensitivity Increasing With Age

I tend to agree with Willows as I also have hyperacusis along with patulous eustachean tube (PET).
It is very debilitating and I have become quite a recluse. Socialising is too difficult. Certain sounds are just intolerable. One on one conversation is manageable, beyond that the brain goes into sensory overload. Also very susceptible to electromagnetic fields. I have learnt to manage my situation for the last 20 years. My saving Grace has been immersing myself in art and nature. I gave up long ago with ENT specialists. I live on the other side of the world and at times I am in awe as to the expertise available in the medical field in the USA.
I wish you the very best in your search for answers.

Good ideas. Nature. Reading books. Meditation. I can have sensory and cognitive overload too.
