Hearing *too* sensitive...

I'm sitting here alternating between falling asleep at my notebook and writing for very brief periods. Sound doesn't put me in any more pain than otherwise, but I am having issues with feeling extremely anxious/stressed for no real reason.

Now is one of the few times I really don't like having hypersensitive hearing. I can easily hear telephones ringing in houses three neighbors away and across the street, and my current tendency to be easily alarmed means I startle involuntarily every time I do. I think I'm going to put headphones in (earplugs do not sound comfy with the infection) and go to sleep...

I have extremely sensitive hearing, too . I've always been horrified of things things like styrofoam, balloons and leather, but anymore I hear frequencies EVERYWHERE! It's making life more and more difficult because I cannot withstand the extra frequencies of tv sets, monitors, lights...I wear earplugs all the time, but it only seems to sharpen my hearing..I don't know what to do! I'm even starting to wonder if it's not hallucinations creeping in, because nobody has any idea what I'm responding to when my face changes or I immediately flee from a room.

Most every sound on earth bothers me, and I just simply go into a RAGE when I hear them. I wear earplugs now everyday for 10 years. Doctors cannot help my condition. I take Clomipramine
and Clonazepam 2Mg. at night. It is the worst thing I have ever had!

New housing estate is just been put in behind me. New noises all over the place...just drive me crazy. Wear earplugs to sleep...even then I wake with the smallest sound. Not taking medication...dont want to. Am grateful though as I am a musician.
