Wow, this is probably the weirdest symptom. LOL I don't have tinnitus but do know some people who have it and they say it's sometimes difficult to hear a conversation because of all the ringing and buzzing in their ears. Must be the frequencies.

I also get overwhelmed by noise, moreso when I'm tired. Like right now as I'm trying to wake up and DH is sitting next to me playing some video game trailer extremely loud. Makes me want to go pull the plug on the speakers!

There was an article in our local paper about TV advertisements and how they're using different pitches and frequencies to catch our attention. Wish I could find that info again because it had a link to a website where you could test how many frequencies you could hear. I could hear lots more than my DH, especially the higher frequencies.

Guess we're all Bionic Women and Six Million Dollar Men...and yes, I'm telling my age.
