I'm getting that way too. Alot of times, I have to tell my mom not to talk to me or I just have to walk away from her because I just cannot stand the 'wet' sounds in her mouth when she is conversing quite normally with me. I hate listening to radio people (not only because they never have anything intelligent to say) but because of the same thing you describe exactly. There is nothing worse than that inhale of a breath right before they speak. Alot of songs on cd are that way too. I love Nickelback's song 'I'm alive' but his inhaling breaths on that track...I just can't listen to it. Same with Matchbox's 20's 'unwell', those two are the worst for some reason. I don't get scalp pain but i break out in goosebumps and my jaw goes all funny the way it does when you eat something really sour

only way more intense and unpleasant, it hurts!! and shoots like a lightning bolt down my spine.

My sound sensitivity is getting way out of hand. My wife's voice comes off as breathy and full of sharp sounds and popping sounds. I know this sounds crazy but the human speech is driving me crazy. Television offers a complete torture of sharp "s" and "t" consonants that wind me up with a scalp pain.I guess this is nerve related. When I listen to the FM radio,all that I hear is saliva popping and breathing. It all sounds so clear and crisp as if my treble settings have been amplified. Ive had this with an onset of hyperacusis and have dealt with it for over a year now. I have gone to hearing specialists,listened to pink noise ,use sound generators and nothing changes for the better with speech sounds.

Hi

I have the same problem as you in regard the the " s " sound on television. That

horrible hissing sound is my major trigger. It makes me crazy. I watch tv the

sound muted and I use the closed caption feature. It took some time to get used

to it but now it it's second nature to me.

Best regards

Yes, in addition to the usual gum cracking and other "trigger" noises, the sound of certain words drives me crazy too. It is especially true with words I hear too often, like my husband's passive aggressive "Please!" he adds at the end of each sentence when he wants me to do something. And there's a certain female disc jokey on a local radio station near me that makes popping noises when she pronounces certain words. One Thanksgiving she was talking about "CCCCooking TuRRRKEEEYS!" It drove me nuts!Subject: speech hatredTo: Soundsensitivity Date:
