anl1990 91 Posted January 28, 2019 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 2 LaNueva_Janie and FancyChristine15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted February 1, 2019 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! 👈👷👉🙌 2 FancyChristine15 and LaNueva_Janie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSTieMom 6 Posted February 2, 2019 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. 2 LaNueva_Janie and FancyChristine15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcee 3,341 Posted February 4, 2019 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 1 FancyChristine15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted February 4, 2019 How about gum viewers that pop bubbles? That was one of late husband's less endearing traits. 1 FancyChristine15 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
