Kelly I think the same way with commercials vs tv shows, there is a definite difference in the two. I feel like I am always changing the volume between commercials. Drives me nuts.
I have a sensitivity to noise. I don't know if it is too much noise, too loud noise or what but I sometimes feel like I can't take it. I know I have a hard time concentrating when there is noise. This is hard for me because I teach dance and like to have the music loud. I've noticed the last year or so I keep turning the volume down lower.
You are not alone!
