I have an extreme sensitivity to sounds ~ and most are amplified a heck of a lot. People simply talking to me, in a so-called regular volume, and I have to plug my ears because it's very uncomfortable! Physically and emotionally.... though I really can't explain why it bothers me emotionally.
In a large room of people talking, I am often unable to make out who's saying what and where. I just hear lots of words ~ extremely loudly.
Does anyone else here have this problem? If so, do you work with a hearing doctor??
