Sounds have been a pain in my rump for some years now. In college I noticed that concerts didn't go too well for me at all. My ears .. or should I say my nerves just can't take noise. Stores with music are a no no for me because I can't hear and think at the same time alot.. sort of like even when someone tells me something, i have to sit in silence for a second to understand what they just said. I don't even listen to the radio while i'm on the computer. I found that taking ear plugs with me to the mall helps alot. Mine may be caused by another disorder I have known as "aspergers syndrome", but I've noticed it worsened as my MS crept into my life as well.
