My home stitched understanding of this newest theory has made me wonder if I have now found the explanation for my need for silence.

I love music, but it makes me short of breath and very tired. Even my most favorite music becomes a din after a while. I find it very hard to concentrate in noisy surroundings and I feel stiffness and mounting desperation setting in when I'm in places with constant or repetitive sounds.

So maybe I need silence because my nerves are going deaf............
Now they need to find out why nerves go deaf.
(I'm trying hard not to mention hearing aid, but can't resist). Just disregard that, please, because I am not joking. It really makes sense that I need silence to move and to think, because my body's communication system is not working properly.

Or maybe the communication of my nerves makes so much noise that additional noise creates chaos. On second thought I think this makes even more sense than deafness.
