The issues I have are with florescent lights and noises from crowds (too many distractions visually and audibly). My biggest issues with sound is hearing clicking, high pitched noises, harsh noises like dogs barking, eating noises, background disturbances, and multiple (more than 3) conversations going on at once. I come from a large family and have a boyfriend with Cerebral Palsy, so sometimes I have to just deal. The hardest part for me is hearing myself chew. It grosses me out and is hard for me to block out. So, I prefer to eat somewhere that has noise of some sort.

The only problem I have with lawnmowers are my allergies. LOL...

Thank you so much for the idea of sunglasses. I may try that in class and see if it helps.
