Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi, Same here. I am very sensitive to noise. I am finding myself increasingly sensitive. I used to listen to music louder than anyone in the house, and I still need to have the volume at a certain level if I am trying to listen to music or the TV, which is it seems having both sides of the problem. I now find myself muting the commercials because I hate the noise of them. I can't tolerate the sound of a second TV in the house going in the background when I am watching the other TV. I can't hold a conversation with background noise I have to mute the TV or change locations etc. I used to love to listen to music and recently after a severe crash that lasted for almost a year, I found I couldn't listen to music at all, it was somehow painful and draining. So I have started trying to train my brain to do it again. I started out listening to music in 10 minute time periods a few times a day, now I am up to 20 or 30 minutes at a time. I listen to classical music and easy listening type music. I never have listened to classical much, but I thought I remembered reading how children's brains have better connections nuerologically in their brain when having been exposed to classical music. I also thought they use music as therapy for brain injury so I thought it couldn't hurt to try it. I used to enjoy some rock music but now the sound of it is like fingernails down a blackboard to me. When you think about it, it is an exagerated aging response. [g] When you are young you don't understand why older people don't like your music and don't like it loud. Then you get older. :-) Since Mito also effects your ability to process free radicals as well, we are aging faster than average.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Adam, I find your reply very interesting. Guess I am far from alone with this symptom. I can no longer listen to music for pleasure, though I HAVE to in my work as a musician :-) I prefer to have the TV on " mute " and read the subtitles. BRAVO to you for your success in retraining! For what it's worth, the music used for much of the research on the " effects of Classical Music on babies " and " young adult info retention and test taking performance " is from the Classical period (Mozart, Haydn) and Baroque (Bach, Vivaldi, Telemann). The trial music consisted of the slower movements where the beat is about 60 per minute (mimicking the heart rate at rest). So, for an experminent, it would be interesting to see how your brain feels listening to Mozart of Bach slow movements. We did some follow up research on this subject at the university where I used to teach. Most interesting! Best Wishes, Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Anita and Adam There is also research that says that gregorian (sp?) chants are useful for children with learning disabilities and ADHD. As usual, it doesn't work for all. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Thu, 13 May 2004 12:17:46 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: Hyperacusis > > Hi Adam, I find your reply very interesting.
