Seriously... I enjoy feeling like I'm about to have a nervous breakdown upon hearing one sound many times a day. DUH! I like your frying pan over the head idea... If he says "just deal with it" one more time I just may try that!Darlene>> You know it bloody sucks. If I tell someone that something bothers me, they seem to do it more. My mom is probably the only one that has made a serious effort to not do things around me....to not serve all crunchy foods at supper with a

bowl of chips on the side....lol. My 6 year old twin daughters know that certain noises bother mommy. As for my dear husband, he doesn't get it. I've gone off the deep end enough when he throws gum in his mouth that he should know by now.....he tells me to just ignore it and get over it. One day I swear I will have to smack him over the head with a frying pan.....an old one of course. He will get a headache and wonder what the heck that was all about......I will say "see how it feels....see how it hurts me". Anyways.....>

Good luck. I too have the feeling I would be better of in a different setting

than the office and am planning accordingly. Living with this problem teaches

you to be very resourceful, so no matter what happens and even if you can't see

the big picture, trust the fact that you have what you need to deal with this.

You have done your best to address your employer's disablity. Progressive

employers know how to attract and work with good employees--those who are not

understanding will ultimately pay the price for it. Also, don't assume to

worst, but I can understand why you want to be ready for it.

What can we do to help him? He uses ear plugs at the table or just eats in

another room on really bad days. He is very bright, does great in school (he's

I think I saw those the other day on a webiste and yes they are quite expensive. Would have to save up first! I don't think there is anything like those here in the UK. In fact, there seems little knowledge of this in the UK at all?

Thanks for the help! Have you tried these?

I was assuming you were in the US. I'm in the UK as well and we can get them here - if you're lucky with your doctor/audioligy department you might be able to get them free on the NHS. I got mine from pure tone - http://www.puretone.net/ - fairly reasonably priced and I find them a Godsend.

Many thanks , that's great! I will pay the doctor a visit before I purchase these. I need to anyway now I realise I can go back with some solid information to give to them. And its great to know Im not the only one in the UK with this!

What a Godsend this webiste has been and the advice I have received!

Thanks again Emma
