hi folks,

i have a different set of dx, but totally get the
overwhelmed feeling that crowds and noise can
do to me. it makes me feel as tense as piano wire.

one thing i can do for myself in some situations is
try using soft, foam earplugs. like on an airplane when
i get that closed in and noisy edginess going on then
i put the ear plugs in and it blocks out considerable
amounts of the noise and turns it into a sort of "white
noise" blur that i can ignore better. i don't know if
it would help you, but it's worth a few euros or dollars
to try it out and see if it helps. depending on what kind
of situation you are in, you might try it elsewhere. The
good thing is you aren't completely without hearing so
if there is a need to get your attention you can. i've
been using something like this for 28 years due to my
spouse's infernal snoring! Even with the plugs in I always
heard my little ones if they cried at night. weird but
true.
