I'm ADHD & Bi-Polar; I too have trouble with noise, especially bass. I had one neighbor, who would play his base music, & I would get really nervous; actually going into a panic attack! I also had another neighbor, who was a jazz dance teacher, & the repetitive movements did the same thing (as well as knocking the ceiling fan down in the living room!). I would have to move to another room, so she wouldn't be right over me. I find it disturbing when a get near a car that plays that bass noise.

After these attacks, my husband, did some research & found out that it was some sort of sound disorder, i.e. sensitivity to sound. (He recently emailed me an article about this subject!)

For years, I had a radio that I played 24 hours a day. If I was lucky, I could have a radio at work & I always used head phones for it.

What's really strange, I contracted a virus that caused mid-range hearing loss. I have problems hearing the frequencies that hearing speech falls into, but I can hear very low frequencies (bass) & very high frequencies. (Certain loud sounds, especially children screaming, makes my ear feel like someone is stabbing a pencil in it!) I can hear & understand a whisper but a face to face sentence is garbled.

I wear hearing aids to correct it. The hearing aids also have a "tinnitus" feature (I have a bit of it), which has a variety of sounds to mask tinnitus. There are several different sounds, but I have mine set to "waves crashing against the beach" & discovered that it helps with noise problem & helps with my concentration!
