noise - over sensative

[Guest guest]

Hi all ers,

Just wondering again if any of you are overly sensative to alot of

noise and what this does to your nervous system. I ask this because my

day yesterday was totally filled with hundreds of major noises, some

just " normal " like a vaccum, dogs barking, etc. It was odd too in the

pool because a very splashy lap swimmer made that noise, then all the

lawns were being mowed at once, with the leafblowers going. Then the

builders nearby were really pounding in the roof nails! My nerves just

felt like they were on overload, and I noticed this caused a tremor

surge.

Fortunately the day ended with a beautiful, quiet romantic dinner, and

I was restored to peace, but just wonder if anyone is overly sensitive

to noise from ordinary life. (and yes, I do have earplugs - you'd be surprised

what I can still hear!)

Hi Gretchen-I too have a very hard time with noise. It is EXHAUSTING for me

and makes me very crabby too.

Well Gretchen,

That is a good question. I never imagined having hearing problems might be

associated with CMT. Noise just gets to be too much for me sometimes also. But

I'm also having a lot of problems hearing. I confronted my MD about seeing a

ear, nose and throat specialist and he adviced me to debrox my ears, to get rid

of the ear wax, then I should be able to hear better. And to stay away from

machinery noise like power saws and such that my husband uses in our Renovation

Business that I have helped him on.

Well, I done that, went back to him, he checked my ears and seen they were clean

(and I haven't worked in the business for over 2 years now). Nothing was

mentioned about seeing a specialist. I still have hearing problems. And

sometimes my ears hurt so bad, they feel like they are going to bust. Anybody

with any other suggestions on treating the ears, I would greatly appreciate it.

Gretchen,

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to the posts. I have noticed over the

past few months (more like a year I guess) that I cannot tolerate loud

noises. Even the tv or radios seem so loud to me that I have to turn them down.

Motorcycles, big trucks and even dogs barking seem to drive me crazy. I

haven't said anything about it to anyone, it's been something that I say to

myself

alot. Yes normal sounds do seem really loud to me and I have no idea why.

Elaina.
