Mark thank you -- that explains me exactly yesterday at drs office. I was in the waiting room and I had earplugs in...I heard every noise and just couldn't stand it. The phone was ringing in the background, several different conversations...all of which I couldn't ignore even with my eyes shut. It was strange....overwhelming.

Does it take the brain a long time to be able to accept more and more? Is it a matter of training the brain to do that?

If I had a speech problem, then I would be in for speech therapy...right? So, why can't there be a rehab for overload??
