Yes..... i often leave places that are too loud. i have terribly sensitive hearing. Like Rap, i avoid loud places (like Costo - it's just too much stimulous and sound), concerts... i take ear plugs to go to Musicals. Tonight at the movies (prince caspian) i plugged my ears during the war scenes. I don't care about embarrassment any more - i take care of my ears, head, and sanity. Loud sounds physically hurt me. If i work with loud people i try to stand further away from them. Lunch rooms at school are hard. I have been flattened to the wall before both from noise and the oncoming panic it brought. Do what you can to take care of yourself!
