Sound Sensitivity Improving!
I wanted to inform the forum that my horrid sound sensitivity seems to be improved. I no longer have to wear earplugs at all times during the day. In fact I have been able to do dishes, make food, and even go for walks without any earplugs! I also have been able to listen to podcasts for long periods of time on my phone speakers.
I still wear the earplugs when I go into louder public places and when there are louder noises such as lawnmowers and construction, but I'm no longer cringing at the sounds of loud conversations and laughter. I am pretty sure this trend is due to actual healing and also my increasing ability to control my anxiety. I highly recommend facing the fears you may have. What can you truly lose if it is done cautiously? I realized that the noises weren't actually hurting me in a lot of cases but causing a lot of anxiety instead. This is a key step in the right direction!
