I think we retreat rather than deal with what comes up as it comes up. To be engaged, we have to stay engaged; if your mother is too loud (does she "know" it?) you have to remind her and figure out how to share that with her, maybe in a little humor so the two of you can let the other know when they can't hear/are too loud for comfort? When my parents got in their 70's the had a "signal" for when my father was telling the same joke too often to the same people :-) My mother would flash the hand signal and my father would know he had told that story to that person already.

I think helping the others we love can give us the best resolution possibilities for our own issues. Interacting with others is the only way we can learn their stories and what they like/dislike and how they feel. It is interesting you supposed your mother didn't "hear" you when you were growing up but why is that so? Only your mother can tell you what it was like for her, what her issues were at the time that may have helped her choose to be as she was; just like you "withdraw" now, she may have too, in her own way, because of her deafness and the enormous difficulties and expectations she might have had for herself, raising a hearing child?

So, when you catch yourself withdrawing, decide that is the time to try and connect! Ask your mother for a story about her trials and tribulations as she raised you; getting to know another's problems can make us feel closer to them and show us ways they are actually like us.

If another is too chatty, see if you can find someone not as chatty and go for a walk or do an activity with the chatty person that is difficult to chat during? Being "with" another is relating, they can't accuse you of withdrawing if you are physically present and participating? Create your own quiet spaces; do the dishes together with a chatter and let their words just roll over you, thinking your own thoughts and just giving them an "uh huh" every now and then or asking another question that will get them going? Noise (like in a public space) can provide intimacy as well as hurt us.

Try to notice when small things happen that are uncomfortable for you. It sounds like you have lots going on for several days and only gradually to they "gunk up" your interactions. See if you can express yourself, set and protect boundaries as things are happening. Don't just say "I'm fine" if you are not, try to stay "honest" and clue others in to what is happening with you as it is happening. Just make sure it is not open to "debate", what you are feeling. Keep to what you are feeling and away from "you are making me feel. . ." statements. "I am feeling stressed from the volume of conversation, does anyone want to go for a walk with me?" is better than, "Hey, Mom, you're talking too much and are too loud!" :-)
