Does Anyone Else Out There Suffer From Extreamly Sensitive Hearing?  

oh .. Now I Know The Real You .. LoL .. Jokes Apart I Suddenly Feel Concerned .. I Have Come Across Many Blind People Having One Extra Sense .. It Always Goes this Way 'You Are Equally Compensated for Your Loss' .. Thank You For Reading Through ..

I wish I had good hearing!! Maybe not exactly like you but similar...I suffer from tinnitus & as a result of a swimming injury when I was 10 (21 years ago), I have been legally deaf in my left ear :(

I am sorry, that sounds very difficult to deal with in our loud world! My hearing is not that sensitive. Now I do have problems with being overwhelmed by lots of loud noises so I have had to start wearing ear plugs quite often. It's especially bad with my three grandsons and their constant fighting and bickering and the little one's loud piercing autistic sounds he makes. I love them all but there are times, due to their noise, I would gladly run screaming into the street in front of oncoming traffic!! Yes, it does get that bad. But I thank God for my foam ear plugs!

With fibromyalgia, all my senses are heightened. Hearing maybe not so much because my ears are ringing constantly. Yeah, I can hear the loud things but I have to keep turning up the volume on the television so I can hear it over the sound of the ringing in my ears.

My biggest sensitivity is my sense of smell. I can smell anything from any distance and I can't stand it. I can smell beer across an open backyard. I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol and I encounter them a lot. When the neighbours have a bonfire in their backyard I have to close up all the windows on doors (not really fair, is it?) because the strong smell of burning wood sickens me. I honestly wouldn't mind if I lost my sense of smell entirely.

I have a reverse slope hearing loss. I can't hear the TV or my husband talk but a bird singing at 5 AM sounds like a canon and the dripping of water is equivalent to water torture.

It is amazing how sick mother nature's sense of humor can be.

Thanks to a tumore taken out of my head... yes.. I have extremely sensitive hearing. The doc's don't know why as the tumor wasn't anywhere near my hearing area, and can't give a reason... I say it is cause now there is so much empty space in there (from where the tumor used to be) that sound is just echoing in there! Granted, that is just something I say to make myself feel better with such an annoying issue, but I mentioned it to one of the doctors and he didn't sluff it off as a stupid possibilitiy!!

I hear things I wish I didn't have to hear. People are having conversations across the room and I can hear them!! Sometimes it is cool, other times it is "oh,,, didn't know that" and other times I find out things that I was not supposed to know or hear! No one will watch tv with me as I need it lower than most and the commercials are so loud and fast anyway... I can't stand them so I mute them, but my husband hates that and gets mad. I tell him, its a stupid commercial.. you don't even want to watch it, why not mute it? But he refuses. Guess it is a "I am MAN" thing... whatever. I have one in my room so I go in there! It is annoying, but it could be worse, is my theory!

welli do have a sensitive ears also. I was diagnosed lately with hyper accusi. I was so depressed to accept the fact that i have a hearing provlem. I just can't tolerate some noise that are normal to others. My ears vibrate when a person raised or even clap their hands. I often cry alone because i feel pain in my ears. And They don't understand me if i complain. I can't stand certain sounds. When i enter in a quiet room i can hear "shhhh..." sounds and make me depress. So, what I usually do if im alone, turn on the fan. Gee1 good to know im not alone and theirs someone who can understand me.

First time to know that. Yes you have really a unique and extremely sensitive hearing ability. It's amazing at same time for me it would be so disturbing and annoying. I can't share something on this issue I am sorry because I don't have like this unique senses of yours.... have a nice day ahead and advance Happy weeding anniversary, good luck and hoping on more more years of your wedding anniversaries to come....

I have sensative ears and often get bad to extreme agonising earaches. I also have this type of extreme hearing ability, it's annoying though because I'm sort of a light sleeper. But i have learnt to cope with it over time and yeah :S

I hate that too. Alot of noises and light messes with my equilibrium. It makes me disoriented and I cannot think straight. It makes me dizzy at times too. I cannot stand bright or flashing lights or sounds while I am trying to focus on something either. My husband always has the tv going or some kind of noise and so does my daughter. It is very distracting and annoying at times.
