I hear you on this one (sorry, couldn't help it)

My hearing issues are something ELSE hard to explain to other people, as if I needed something else. It isn't necessarily loud noises, it's just CERTAIN noises. Sometimes the dial tone on the phone sets off a ruckus in my brain, for example.

The other day I leaned over the edge of the tub and went to scrubbing on the rubber mat with a scrub brush. It was like a little tornado went in each ear and was throwing debris around inside my head. YOW!

Dogs barking, stuff like that, is annoying, but it doesn't do that weird thing inside my head. Just makes me want to go smack the dog owner.
