Audiosensitivity (and some forms of tinnitus) are often part of the Meniere Spectrum Disorder, which is common in the normal population. I proposed that AS and MSD were a result of low inner ear pressure, as might occur from weight loss, low blood pressure, etc. So thank you Diane for reporting that increased water intake for dehydration cured the oversensitivity for (loud?) sounds.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I finished a series of college-level physiology courses last summer and have some knowledge of the excessive water issure. " Water poisoning " or hyponatremia comes from excessively diluting the sodium and other electrolytes in you blood. It's quite possible to get water poisoning, but you really, really have to work at it under normal conditions. The amount required varies according to body weight, but you tend to get nauseous and have a strong urge to drink no more water long before you reach the dangerous amount. A woman died in some radio contest not long ago when she drank about 2 gallons of water in a very short amount of time. I used to drink about half a gallon of water in the morning when I got up and did this for several years with no bad effects. In fact I stopped getting colds while I was doing that. It's an Ayurvedic (Indian medicine) practise designed to flush your bowels and assure you have enough water for your immune system to work. I still drink about 20 oz every morning and it perks me right up. Even if you don't do that, drinking 2 or 3 liters/day is, I believe, really good for you and poses no danger, assuming you are eating a normal diet that includes necessary electrolytes. Working out in the heat can be a danger if you drink too much water without replacing the electrolytes you lose in your sweat. " Heat stroke " that athletes get from time to time is actually from drinking too much water without electrolytes. Thus, Gatorade was created... :-) Here's an article about the issue: http://drbenkim.com/drink-too-much-water-dangerous.htmlOn Sat, Dec 4, 2010 at 2:14 PM, Multi- Facets wrote: Don't drink TOO much.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 That is a really interesting idea. I am always dehydrated! I bought myself a nice water bottle and am making an effort to try to drink more H20. I am also taking two Vitamin D3 liquid gels daily and am noticing that I am less irritable. Placebo, maybe, but I am going to stick to it and see what happens. > > I know I was dehydrated when I became annoyed by a NEW sound. > One weekend I drastically increased my water intake, not thinking it would help with sound sensitivity but noticed a quick improvement, which I attributed to changing my diet. > > I did some research and was reminded of a book I read years ago, The Bodies Many Cries for Water. > There is a website....watercure2.org... > Tinninits ( spelling?) was mentioned as one of the ailments cured . > Was wondering if it would also help for soundsensitivity. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
