I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one with this noise issue. Have been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD. i have been aware of noise issues since childhood. Dad vs. Pat(my name) constantly confused by this. Difficulty hearing on the phone. Went to a Doctor years ago for hearing test (audiologist put me in soundproof room and had me listen to words pronounced slowly and articulated every syllable) of course I aced that test. Doctor said I needed to pay more ttention when people spoke or I answered the phone (Say WHAT)? When we 1st were married my husband was involved in racing for himself and go karts with his son. The sound would get me so angry, I could have pushed in someone's face. (Never did but wanted to). Thought this was only my bizarre reaction to certain noises. Barking of hound dogs. It's not the short term, it's the ongoing sounds that disturb me. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It has helped.
