Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Wow you have been through alot! For this, I would try an audiologist first. There might be nothing that can be done - your near death experience might have changed something in your brain's wiring...but it might also be something to do with hearing and they might be able to fix it. I knew a guy who went to bed normal one night and woke up completely deaf the next morning. They never did figure out what happened and he has been deaf now for many years and has adjusted. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 10:31 PM Subject: newly sound sensitive adult in sept i had a bad reaction to a mix of dif pain meds which landed me in a coma for 5 days. my family was told i was going to die, then that my brain was fried and i would need long term care. i spent 3wks in the hosp, but bounced back pretty good, for a dead woman. lack of ox to the brain has caused some hearing issues. everyone sounds like they have been inhaling heliumn. i have some hearing loss and what i hear now is too loud and distorted. it's to the point of causing panic attacks. my husbands voice, my son, my dog barking feels like it's shooting through me. it's like the vibration from the sound is causing it too. to fix dinner, i have to wear earplugs to be able to focus. if too much is going on my heart starts pounding and i usually end up closing myself off in a quiet room crying. public places are way too much now. things i found enjoyable are a thing of the past. like watching tv, dining out, movies, concerts, listening to music on the radio, ect. i can't tell who i'm talking to on the phone because everyone sounds the same. noises that never really bothered me, now are like nails on a chalkboard and others i can't hear at all, like beeping types of sounds, microwave, fridge, alarmclock...anyone have any advise??

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 HelloI too belong to the sound sensitivity group, but wanted to let you know your emails have been coming to me instead of the intended. I wouldn't mind emailing you though- I haven't heard from anyone on this site and am curious to find out if other people notice that the symptoms of rage are worse with certain people making the noise than others? I'd also love to help you or anyone else if I could somehow.Thanks:)Audrey To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2012 9:42 AM Subject: Re: newly sound sensitive adult Wow you have been through alot!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 thanks for the messages! i'm also receiving everyone's emails/replies to messages. i know with myself, yes. my husband is a loud person and i find myself wanting to kick his ass sometimes. i have told him over and over that it's not that i need more volume to get what he's saying. it just makes it more distorted and uncomfortable to my ears. i'm constantly covering my ears around him. i do feel like my brain is wired wrong now. when i came out of the coma i couldn't even remember how to tie my pants or even sign my name. it took me a long time before i could log on to the computer. my short term memory was pretty much shot, but that has gotten better. certain things from sept are gone. last day i can really recall is 9/9, next thing i woke up it was 9/20. i came home 9/29 and have been slowly healing. now i'm just trying to find ways of dealing with these new disablities. right now, earplugs are my best friend! thanks again, hettie > > Hello > I too belong to the sound sensitivity group, but wanted to let you know your emails have been coming to me instead of the intended.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi HettieThanks for writing back so quick! You have really been through a lot a lot. I know what you mean though about plugging your ears around the house- I do the same thing. It too have ear plugs and ear phones that I love. Did you suffer with this sound sensitivity before the coma? It's facinating really- I wish researchers would research this thing more!!!Thanks againAudrey To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2012 1:36 PM Subject: Re: newly sound sensitive adult thanks for the messages! i'm also receiving everyone's emails/replies to messages. i know with myself, yes. my husband is a loud person and i find myself wanting to kick his ass sometimes. i have told him over and over that it's not that i need more volume to get what he's saying. it just makes it more distorted and uncomfortable to my ears. i'm constantly covering my ears around him. i do feel like my brain is wired wrong now. when i came out of the coma i couldn't even remember how to tie my pants or even sign my name. it took me a long time before i could log on to the computer. my short term memory was pretty much shot, but that has gotten better. certain things from sept are gone. last day i can really recall is 9/9, next thing i woke up it was 9/20. i came home 9/29 and have been slowly healing. now i'm just trying to find ways of dealing with these new disablities. right now, earplugs are my best friend! thanks again, hettie > > Hello > I too belong to the sound sensitivity group, but wanted to let you know your emails have been coming to me instead of the intended.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 i didn't have any issues with sound before the coma. sometimes it feels like everything's coming at me too fast and my brain's unable to process it. thursday is always a bad day for me. my dog barks at the 3 trash trucks as they pass my house twice, and when the mailman comes, and the guys doing yardwork across the street, add the noise from the lawnmower from the house in back.....by tonight my head will be pounding from the stress. thursday's too loud! it's nice to know that i'm not alone. hettie > > > > Hello > > I too belong to the sound sensitivity group, but wanted to let you know your emails have been coming to me instead of the intended.
