Mouth Noises



Recommended Posts

I can completely relate! There are certain noises which drive me up the wall - like applause, or sometimes the sound of a keyboard. It either makes me feel uncomfortable, or can even at times make me angry.

Brains are weird, man..lol

Last time I was at the movies, the woman next to me was dipping her fingers in the nacho cheese and sucking it off. It was the loudest most foul noise I had ever heard. I looked right at her, just staring at her. Finally she stopped

OMG! That's terrible!

I hate myself for sometimes hating members of my own family for doing totally normal things like chewing their food!

Me too! I feel TERRIBLE for it driving me nuts! They're just eating or clearing their throat, but it drives me insane!

I have one that does irritate me, and I'm sure someone will. bawl me out, but I find all this signing disruptive. Often I am watching a winter commentary, at my age you do still hear but sometimes your mis-interprets what you actually heard So there I am straining to hear what the official is saying, and over to the right,and sometimes it's right in front of the official and here's this ding - a- ling flopping his arms up and down like a fat pelican who can't get off the ground or gyrating like he's touched live electric wires, Either I turn on the closed captioning which peeves Tomkitten or I j7st stop looking and listen only,to the sound. Recently there was a lady singing quite beautifully, really enjoying her presentation, and who should show up but Hector-amos Flopmeyer, bouncing and flippery-flopping all over the place. Dayum,please go back and sit down please! 👈👷👉🙌

Yes... I’ve had it since I was 10 or so. It’s one of those things that I don’t tell people about because it’s too hard to explain and makes me sound either crazy or like a total bitch or both.

It’s hard. It effects relationships. It makes it hard to be out in public.

A specialist about 10 years ago recommended and fitted me for this thing that looks like a hearing aid but is actually a small white noise maker. It helped but eventually broke and was too costly to replace.

So now my life is surrounded by fans ... as in white noise fans, not adoring fans. In a pinch (like in public near a gum chewer that I can’t escape) I slip in ear plugs.

It’s horrible to live with and I pray for relief . So far there has been no miracle healing, but I find ways to cope. Triggers can lead to a serious fight or flight respond - anxiety and repulsion that are unbearable until you can get away from the source. You learn to get creative in avoiding triggers or at least masking them as much as possible.

Yes it’s neurological in nature, but there are some audiologists that help people that suffer with this.

Good luck and I’m sorry to hear so many people have this.

It’s a common condition. I hate listening to people chew or breath. Especially those people that chew with their mouths open, for pete’s sake shut it, you’re not a cow!

People eating at the movies drives me nuts. Last movie I went to with my daughter there was this family that must have been passing around giant packets of chips the whole show. At the end when I gave her a dirty look she got quite aggressive. They need to introduce food free movie sessions.

I hate traffic noise( which is why I live in the country), dripping taps and ticking clocks. Hubby got a weather station for Christmas with a clock in it, I had to take the battery out as it was sending me batty

How about gum viewers that pop bubbles? That was one of late husband's less endearing traits.

How about humming? Sat next to one of those, remember more of that then the presentation I paid good money to see!

Humming annoys me too. I've noticed that if it's an actual tune, then it's fine, but if it's just random humming, it drives me nuts.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
