Sensitive To Sounds

I have noticed recently I have been very sensitive to sounds. When I'm watching TV I have it at the same level as I normally do and for some reason now it just seems like it's too loud has anyone experienced this being sensitive to sounds?

Smells
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Anyone either get a heightened sense of smell or phantom smells which aren't there.

Sometimes I can smell like a burning type of smell yet no one else can smell it or something smelly. Got this odd smell only in my room and can't seem to figure out what it is. I tried perfumes, sprays and flowers and it persists, even tried to find the smell, but can't seem to pin point it and no one else can even smell it.

Is Anyone Having Any Trouble With Sensitive Hearing?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Every now and then, or when I am having a FM flare, I noticed that my hearing gets sensitive. Like every sound is amplified. The sound of doors closing or even my son’s voice is too loud. Is this related to Fibromyalgia or something else?

When I am having a bad flareup, I become very sensitive to sudden sounds/noises. Anything from a siren to a small cough, or even someone starting to talk causes a painful shock to all the nerves in my upper body. Mostly my arms, shoulders and neck.
