Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I worked with a guy who knew my weakness when it came to typing and loud bass lines coming through the wall. He got fired and JUST MY LUCK....got a job in a showroom next to me. So they faced their bass speaker to my wall of my office and would just crank their music all day long. I pleaded with them everyday and asked them to stop. He later told me that the girl who worked in there got a kick out of turning the music up louder when I would ask. It was awful. I would sweat and freak out all day. So, my awesome husband brought some speakers to my office with a bass amp and planted it right against their wall. I could then play my music which would cancel out theirs and I lived happily ever after until my boss decided to change showrooms to another building. The walls were paper thin, and we were next to a bunch of teenagers who would crank their radio all day. I finally got smart, figured out what radio station they were playing and then I would play the same thing in my office even though it was music I did not like. It's so hard to live in a world where nobody gets it!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 It is! I am so glad she is moving, but there will always be someone sick, eating, chewing gum. I try my hardest to be strong. Somedays I doubt my strength. Somedays(rarely) I feel strong. The think that makes me extremly mad is the facebook posts that say how we all have many wishes, but people with cancer has only one wish. I have one wish. My wish is to not have this condition. I do feel bad for people with cancer, but other things need attention. My uncle has really bad epilepsy that is life threatening to him and others. This is a serious cobdition and it effects peoples life a lot. I have been really suicidal many times because I think death is the only way out of beibg in pain. i hope oneday the misophonia awareness day becomes a month. There needs to be foundations created for misophonia. > > > > > > She may not have wanted you to beat her up, unless she wanted you to get in trouble.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have anger management issues, i think apart from my misophonia, so it were me and i found out that people were just messin with me, i probably would have went over there and started a rumble; luckly(i use that word sparingly) i havent been in situations where the sound is just beyond ridiculously loud to the point you could practically call the authorities. we live out in the country though, but that isnt always better. there is no noise ordinance out here, so when my neighbors, who have a gun fetish, decide to blast their cannons for rifles so loudly that it raddles our windows, or there is practically a kennle of dogs at the other neighbors house on the other side of us that bark at everything in the world all day and all night, there is no one you can call. but isnt it strange though when if you have control and make the same noise, it doesnt have the same effect? like the brain somehow at some point crossed some wires and decided to short circuit our reactions to other people directly to anger. yours is a perfect example of what the problem realy is; people are normaly bothered by the loudness of sounds, but we are bothered by our inability to tune out stimuli outside of our personal field of infulence. i think we just pay too much attention do changes, reguardless of weather we percieve them as good or bad; the problem comes when we try to pay attention to something else, and the brain wont pull itself away for some reason. that fact makes us upset, and we focus our anger on the sound itself, rather than our obsessiveness. > > > > > > She may not have wanted you to beat her up, unless she wanted you to get in trouble.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I totally agree. We all have had that situation where you ask someone to stop so they look at you and do it faster and louder. I had a kid to that to me in psychology class. it gave me the rage feeling and I got a very firm tone and told him" I am dead serious you knock it the hell off" he said sorry and walked away.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I know how hard it is to be in school with misophonia. So if there's a better way for you to get your education, I want you to be able to do it. Not having a laptop shouldn't have to get in the way of your education and mental health. I know that asking for money can be a weird thing... But if you wanted you could get your parents to set up a PayPal account for donations for you to get a laptop. I run a website that could help get your story out to hundreds of people ( http://misophoniasupport.tumblr.com/ ) and I'm sure there are lots of people who would donate. Just a thought. > She did.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 My parents found out Connections Acadamy provides a laptop. My parents are looking at the different online homeschooling. I hopefully can do that. I have fallen so behind that I am lost and have a F- in two classes. History is easy like science. I am taking advance science and have a A. I have a A in history, but I am being challenged in history. I am usually pretty good at math, but my class if full of trigger sounds. I even cried today because I couldn't handle not crying. I am not the type to cry easily. I am failing english because we watched video that explain parts of speach. It was so annoying and distracting that the guy couldn't stop moving his head. I have a hard time with parts of speach in the first place. School is hard when people get sick, chew gum, snap their fingers, and wistle. Those are the main sounds along with chewing and breathing. > > She did. She was my best friend. I know this is bullying, though most would disgree.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 http://www.earpeace.com/ na, Here is the website for earpeace. I found them online and use them when I need to. The flesh colored ones are almost unnoticeable and they block out a lot of sounds while allowing you to hear most voices. Plus they have a nice metal case and are very inexpensive. Free shipping if you buy two. I am waiting for a wireless earbud technology someday. I am sure they are working on it. We just have to find things that help us cope at this point. I have realized that I can do many of the things that I want to, with some limitations, but it takes an effort to create situations that limit exposure to trigger sounds. Find work that you like but does not expose you to those sounds on a daily basis. You will be miserable,like I was when I was young and a Chef in a kitchen full of people eating food!!! Mike To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 9:28 PMSubject: (unknown) Thanks. I use foam earplugs. I always look at how many decibels they block out. I am in high school where people are so mean. I have been teased for being different. I wear earplugs, but then I can't hear the teacher. If I use my fingers it works, but my hands loose blood flow and I can't write. I probally should use wax, but I got one stuck way far. They tried scraping it out, but it was too painful so they put me to sleep. My family snores and my brother snd dad grind their teath. I have learned to love earplugs. I have had many years of use of earplugs. I am acually thinking of using EarPeace or whatever it's called. >> Hi, I just joined this group and this is my first comment. I have a long history of nicely asking people to be more quiet. No matter how polite and careful I am, I've always felt that I suddenly become the enemy. Consequently, I've taken to living in earplugs whenever possible. I use the squishy foam ones covered by industrial strength orange earmuff type headphones, (the kind construction workers use.) Sometimes, I use my iPod inside the muff type headphones so I can choose what I hear. I also have a very large fan which makes a soothing noise to cover up most of the infuriating sounds that come my way. Still, I'm wondering if anyone has found "the best earplugs."

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 They work for me as well. I have the 15db filter and a cover plug without a filter that reduces around 30-35db. I carry them around all the time, in case the need arises. I take public transportation to work, so you can imagine the sounds, hehe. I try not to wear them all the time, but when I do need to, they work well enough to save my sanity. I use the 15db when I still need to be able to hold a conversation, like in restaurants. I took a cruise a year ago, and it was the best thing I could have gotten to still enjoy a nice meal in the restaurants: muffled the ice and silverware clinking, slurping, etc. I was lucky enough to get my own table (was travelling alone) too. I'm buying two of sets from earpeace.com as well - my musician plugs were $200 and can't afford duplicates of those, but want to have something in all the purses I use the most. I'll report back too with my findings on these. > > Musician ear plugs work for me. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Okay. I use to wear earmuffs that the people wear in airports(my dad use to work at a airport), then wax earplugs because foam earplugs felt weird. I got the wax earplug stuck in my ear and was a pain in the but to remove(I went to a doctor and they tried, but it was so painful I said to put me to sleep), then foam earplugs. I hate the disposible ones because it gets durty and makes that awful popping sound and I am in trouble if I run out. > > > > Musician ear plugs work for me. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how much it helps just to know that there are others out there who have these same thoughts and feelings. I sent my husband the link to the Today show interview but he hasn't watched it. I guess I am going to have to sit him down and force him to watch it and then have a very open and honest conversation letting him know that I take it as a direct attack on me when he chews on things and makes irritating noises just for the sake of making them. Either that or I will have to figure out some way to get a shock collar on him and then I can just zap him everytime he makes a sound. Oh, just think of it...how great would that be to be able to punish each and every person who ever chewed gum...slurrped their food, smacked their lips? We could band together and we would have this world irritating noise free in no time. Oh, what a wonderful world it could be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could band together and we would have this world irritating noise free in no time. Oh, what a wonderful world it could be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Sign me up for the shock collar, too. As an alternative to physical violence, I get my saliva on my hand and rub it on his forehead or neck. He is a Kung Fu master and knows how to block me, so I have to be fast. Sometimes, he just lets me do it just so I get it out of my system. After 22 years of marriage, it does not occur to him to be considerate of my sensitivities. Recently, we went to counseling, and the counselor suggested that he at least try to control his noises. He acted like it was such a novel concept. What have I been telling you all these years, nitwit? Anyway, his being considerate did not even last a day. He went back to torturing me with his ever-present barrage of noises. I think he has more mucus and saliva than anyone else in the world. It's like he always has a really bad cold. How can someone be so insensitive? I know it is possible to watch your noises, because my daughter and sisters are great about it. Why is my husband such a neanderthal? I think it's a way of being passive agressive. > > > Thank you so much for all of your responses. I can't tell you how much it helps just to know that there are others out there who have these same thoughts and feelings. I sent my husband the link to the Today show interview but he hasn't watched it. I guess I am going to have to sit him down and force him to watch it and then have a very open and honest conversation letting him know that I take it as a direct attack on me when he chews on things and makes irritating noises just for the sake of making them. Either that or I will have to figure out some way to get a shock collar on him and then I can just zap him everytime he makes a sound.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I think it is a passive aggressive way of expressing the anger over The inconvenience of having to be so aware and in control of the sounds one makes. Probably reasonable since our demands may be a bit unreasonable at times. They my be gross and inconsiderate, but to be honest we must not be the easiest to live with. We are not the only ones who suffer with this. Try the shock collar!How about a "shock jock" for annoying husbands:)Mike. Sent from my iPhone Sign me up for the shock collar, too.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 My mom flicks her fingers either on the arm of the couch or if we're in the car on her leg. Half the time she honestly doesn't know she's doing it and if I say something she'll stop. As much as the sound bothers me I think it's funny when we're in the car, I'm driving the radio is on and I hear it, she always goes " What?! Oh, you hear that? " ------------------------------ >I had to break up with someone who rubbed his feet together in bed or while watching tv. He would also rub his 2nd toe against his big Toe. Drove me crazy! He knew about my sensitivity tocertain sounds, but refused to believe that I could hear his feet. Soft sounds can seem louder than the TV. It didn't help that I could also see his feet. Some visuals upset me because I anticipate the sound that they could make. A friend swinging his legs made me yell at him. He said Owhy I'm not making any noise " I couldn't explain. It was just really upsetting me. > >Sent from my Samsung Interceptâ„¢ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
