Guest guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Excellent excellent advice, it helps a ton. Implementing it of course takes effort and maybe tenacity. But like Peach said you could break your lease emailer with a Hypercusis diagnosis. There are organizations dedicated to lease brewing. There's one here in San Diego. You pay them $500 and the will get you out of your lease. With a dignosis you could probably do it on your own. My neighbors removed that wonder carpet sound barrier and now I'm in hell. Because I'm in a townhouse and they own there's I can't make them put it back. Sigh. I gotta move soon. Gotta break that lease with my Hypercusis diagnosis :-)Sent from my iPhone , a thick carpet with a thick carpet pad beneath it damps the noise enormously. The difficulty is that you are not putting the carpet in your apartment. It needs to go in the upstairs apartment. The landlord doesn't need to make the girl stop walking -- all he needs to do is put the appropriate covering on the floor. I once experienced this with an upstairs neighbor and the difference was vast. It needs to be a thick layer with a thick padding beneath, not just a thin rug. Or maybe there is a top floor apartment in the building that you can move to. For this to work there would need to be no vibrating mechanical fans or other building mechanicals above you. Also, if you can get a diagnosis of hyperacusis, even though that is not what you have, it could help you. You could possibly also get a diagnosis of ear pain or anxiety. The landlord must comply with the ADA, so if you have a documented disability you might be able to make more progress. If your landlord will not do something with carpeting, I believe he is legally obligated to let you out of the lease. > > > > > I usually just read the posts that everyone else writes since, for some reason, the last couple of times I've written, there have been no replies.

At random times, various low life losers (friends of the guy who has no job and doesn't go to school) appear over there and hang out for hours on end.

The hatred and the dry mouth and burning feeling in my stomach are hurting me. I know that. I try doing yoga, deep breathing, etc, but the only thing that works is to put on the headphones and go as far away from it as I can. Unfortunately, I have to take off my protection when working with a student. I fear and loathe those people because of the power they have over me.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 That is the code I am using. :-)Sent from my iPhone The closest code is 388.42, which indicates an unusual sound sensitivity or abnormal auditory perception. Misophonia or 4S does not have a specific code as of yet for diagnosis.
