I cant handle high pitched noises and when I tell people that they think Im crazy!!

We drove past a firehouse where alarm was sounding weekly tes. t and I was like OMG and had to plug my ears and hum til we were far away. In a thrift shop someone broke something glass and then they started sweeping it up and I started freaking and had to sprint away to another area. It happens a lot. Sometimes my ears physically hurt but I mostly get angry and panic.

What is this?? Do any of you experience this too? I tried asking Pdoc abot it but she wasn't happy to answer because I interrupted her to talk about it and she said it was "flighty." She said its because of the hypomania Im in...but this was happening before. This has never happnend before.

Its driving me crazy anyone explain it to me?

I used to be very sensitive to noises during PMS week. One place i worked, I sat near a guy with Tourrette's, he drove me crazy one week - next 3 weeks it was like i didnt even hear him. Then bad again. It was nuts.

I get sensory overload really easily, and noises are the worst for me. Anything sudden, loud, high-pitched, or repetitive really gets to me. When I go out in public, I often wear earbuds and play music because then I have more control over what I'm hearing.

How about when youre somewhere with lots of people and someone is talking to you but you cant pay attention because its all just too much. Oh and I HATE when guitar while some someone decides to gently play guitar while someone is speaking to a group. Really? All I hear is chaos.

I confess it is near time for PMS but was happening before. So weird!

I know that my daughter gets this and its related to her asd.
There are other reasons why it could happen. You might be on edge, over tired, paranoid or what your odoc said. There could be a number of any reasons for it.
Is it just a recent thing or has it always been like that?

I get overwhelmed and anxious when i am out in public especially busy places or public transport, i dont think the noise effects me though. Your doctor might be right though.

It's been like two weeks for high pitch noises to bother me but getting overwhelmed in places a long time. And feels like forever that I can't concentrate with background npises
