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! |

That's great news! This gives me a lot of hope. Out of curiosity, are you able to go out in normal traffic and tolerate those car and truck horns? Has it improved?

Galaxy,
I haven't been outside in heavy traffic without earplugs as I'm still trying to be cautious. I am not sure how loud horns would affect me at this point. The sound of single cars passing is not an issue anymore, though. |
