I can't go to movies, gave away my stereo, wear anti vibration gloves and use a thick foam like anti vibration thing on my steering wheel when I drive. Thank God I live in the country and don't have much noise out here.

I found that I can set my TV audio to custom setting so it has very little base and that helps.

Also, I didn't listen to the radio, or music at all for years because of vibration. Then I found out that I can use the ear bud type headset for my iPod and it does not have the whole body vibration, so that is ok. But, now just the music itself bothers me. So I listen to podcasts, books on tape, or if I am trying to drown out house sounds when trying to meditate for pain reduction, I'll listen to nature sounds.

Tried going to a concert a few months ago. Doc Watson. Fiddle, Guitar, Mandolin. Thought, ok, not much vibration there! Very small local theater. HA!!!! Did not take into account 800 people clapping! I stuck it out, because Doc is almost 90 - not like I was going to get to see him ever again... but boy, did I pay for it!!!

I had something wrong with my ear several years ago. I had to go to an ear specialist and they put me in a booth to take a hearing test. The vibration or something from it was SO painful!! I was crying and shaking --- they thought I was nuts.... I finally begged them to stop the test. They just could not understand why a hearing test would be painful. :-(

When I applied for disability, I made sure to note that I could not stand to hear a radio or feel the slightest vibrations of machines running etc. They probably thought I was nuts too.

Elevators and escalators -- I hate feeling the vibrations they make!
