Does Anyone Else Struggle With Auditory Sensitivity?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is it another symptom pf Fibro, to have painfully sensitive hearing, so much so it can be painful? I also get extremely overwhelmed, when there's too much noise, it can confuse and disorientate me, and do often have to leave the situation. A bit more of a description in my blog: https://thedorkdisorder.com/2023/05/07/auditory...
I don't know if this has anything to do with Fribo or if it's just something that's up with me? I have always disliked loud noises since I was a kid.

Yes! I have grown to really dislike most noise. I wear earplugs at times, otherwise I just get so overwhelmed, confused and frustrated. I also have tinnitus which is so frustrating not being able to get away from that noise.

Agree 100% Claire
Shopping centres and restaurants are the worst. I stopped eating out a long time ago for that reason.

And I will say you can have sensory overload flares.
Just crazy haywire overload!

Yes, I am sensitive to noise - different noises have a different effect. Some sounds I find difficult to hear - but age may be a factor also.
