Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hi , I am 49 and ditto, ditto, ditto! I invested in the BOSE noise canceling headphones and they help a lot!! I really mean it. Without these I would have been fired already. In fact, I am on probation at work for complaining about people talking with their friends all day on the phone, people eating ...you know...... I ride the subway and watch all the New Yorkers chomping away with their gum and it looks so disgusting. Years ago I wanted to make a video showing how ugly people look when they chew gum. There are so many different ways that they do it too. I am at my wits end most of the time. At work, these headphones have been a life saver. I do not have to have any music, just the headphones block out so much noise so I can concentrate!! Do you have trouble explaining things or telling long stories ??? Some of us have found out that we have that in common as well!! It has been linked to us having some kind of ADD. At home I have a white noise machine that sounds like a fan and that helps a lot too!! Hang in there!!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 , I feel for you. I know what a horrible feeling this is. You have touched on one of my biggest fears, my kids. I believe that our problems stems from acute hearing couple with a conditioned response. In other words, we have over time wired the sounds directly into our response (anger, frustration, sadness). I believe our behavior can program our kids to the same fate. When I was in college a confided in friend how much sniffing bothered me. He laughed and thought I was nuts. But it put the "bug in his ear". By the end of the semester he was as bad as me and could not stand the sound any longer. He actually stopped speaking to me for a while because he was so angry that I started him down this path. I believe this is treatable by breaking the conditioned response but we have to jump on it quickly. The reason it gets worse as we get older is because the conditioning becomes more entrenched and we develop a more elaborate system of coping. In the end there is no physical damage being done to us by these noises (unlike other conditions). These are just vibrations in the air. It is the response we allow these vibrations to have in our minds that we need to stop. I wish I had a workbook for this! As I stated in a previous mail, meditation was the only thing that seemed to make a difference. The practice every day (20 minutes) of focusing on a word or thought and returning focus every time I was distracted generated results. It is not easy, but nothing that works ever is. If others on this thread have tried techniques that helped I would love to hear them. We can beat this! Mike "Pendleton, " wrote: It is so good to find other people with this same problem.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Pia, When I initially started meditating I wore my earplugs. Impossible without them. If you mean Bose headphones thenthat would be great as well, just no music obviously. It doesn't make a difference that you do/don't hear external noise when you meditate. Your thoughts are what will constantly distract you. Once you get a handle on returning to your meditation thought or word, it will spill over to the external distraction which in our cases is specific sounds. Keep us posted.Pia Levensteins wrote: , I guess you have a very quiet place to meditate? That was always a problem for me.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't know if there are many people here from the UK but at the moment the reality show Big Brother is showing. I noticed yesterday that one a girl called Nikki eats her cereal, keeping the bowl under her chin (afraid she will drop some?) then spoons the food into her mouth and chews really fast like a rabbit. I find this horrible and disturbing. Lucky the sound wasn't too loud as this would have really finished me off!!! wrote: i don't know what the commercial is for, but there's one on TV that KILLS ME. It's black and white, and it's someone's chin shown upside down. There are eyes drawn on it so that it looks like a face, and the person just chews chips on the commercial. aaaahhhhh!!!!Pia Levensteins <pialevensteinshotmail> wrote: horrible Ritz cracker commercial on the radio....he is eating while talking...WE ARE THE POLITE ONES AND THE REST OF THE POPULATION ARE PIGS!!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Big brother is also on in Australia, every now and then I watch a snippet of the show but the sounds are amplified by the microphones each person has and the clunking of plates is excruciating, I hate how they can have conversations while others are making all the noises like pigs eating and it doesn't faze them, so after a few minutes I stop watching, my family thinks I should go on big brother, but I wouldn't last 5 minutes with those pigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I am from UK too and have never met anyone else that properly has 4S. I have met people with very mild versions but it is more that they don’t like people who eat like pigs (which no one really likes do they?) but they don’t have the rage and emotional impact and don’t really understand that part of it.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Can anyone imagine if a big group of 4s sufferers met up for a meal in a really quiet place? I wonder how everyone would react to each other? I'm not suggesting this but the thought just crossed my mind. By the way my colleague is eating a bagel making the most awful sound help!!!!!!Suzanne Payton wrote: Hello fellow UK sufferer. Don't blame you for not watching BB but must admit i'm almost hooked!
