I recently had an argument with my partner. Her frustration at the way I am letting T take over is largely behind it, in the sense that our life is different now than before I had my flare up.
I have taken to wearing plugs and earplugs when I drive, with the slamming doors and road noise. The occlusion effect is quite bad in these, and so I tend to talk more quietly. My refusal to talk louder until the car had stopped caused a big argument.
Phrases such as 'embarrassment', 'feel pity and regret towards you' etc flew out. There was also a moment when my parter exited the car in anger and slammed the door shut, despite knowing my issue with this.
My question essentially is with the door slammed aggressively shut, will earmuffs (peltor ones, ironically the only protection I had on), protect against this sort of loud impact sound?
Thanks for reading, if you got this far. Help needed!
