We were normal once a week church goers. Had to stop going because of the music being so loud. The priest says they get insulted if you tell them. Well I lost my hearing completly in one ear 4 years ago from a virus. Loud noises bounce around in my head causing anxiety, headaches, physically sick. Forget going to plays or movies. A hearing aid helps in normal conversations but just like marijaneb i still have problems. I've been reading more, paint and just sit looking at nature. Moved recently and it is hard to make friends who understand.
