Default Sometimes yes
There are times I can't bear the sound of the radio or TV. Sometimes I can hear the humming of electricity in the power cords. If the pain level is high, everything and anything is tough to bear.

Also, very distracting and hard to concentrate because all you hear is the noise, or talking; all of which you would like to tune out; but very difficult.

Default yes and no
I have chronic pain from TN2 and Parkinson's, but more times than not I find the noises of daily living a good distraction from pain. other times not so much.

I feel like my chronic pain turned me into a different person. Noise irritates me to no end (and I work in a school). When the noise gets to be too much, I rub my temple. My family and coworkers respond very kindly to this silent request.

Three things I don't enjoy anymore that I used to love: listening to music, reading, and writing. Pain took them away.

Aw, Cheryl.
I was saddened to read your post and then quickly realized I was resonating with your post. I've lost my love for the same when in chronic pain, which has been 99% of the time lately.

Group hug!

That's one of the things I don't understand about this chronic pain. I feel like it changed me into someone else.

Cheryl, I think the chronic pain is so stressful, we don't have the resources left to deal with other things/people/events as easily as we used to do so. I think, for me, it can wear down my resources and steal a large portion of any patience I may have had available to help me to cope.

In addition, I have found some pain meds help the pain but also amplify sound for me. Have others found this as well?

Gentle group hug!
