MemberTicking clock, certain pitches that kind of thing. I even bought a TV many years ago that I had to return because of a high pitch squeal that only I heard. Just curious if any other T suffers had the same experience.
I Have Always Been Sensitive to Sounds and Noises

This is funny because when I was young I preferred watching TV with closed captioning. Now 30 years later, after starting T which gives me a 85% hearing loss on most frequencies, I have no choice but to watch TV with closed captioning. But there is a good side to this, if the the TV squeals I do not know.
Yep. I was with a friend recently, and was sad because I had to hold my ear and go "jesus christ man don't talk so fucking loud" but then I remembered I used to do that when I was with him before my T as well lol.
But the answer is yes.
But the answer is yes.
Sad isn't it? My daughter's voice can get loud and I find myself putting my hands over my ears

I think some of us may have been sensitive to sounds before T and not really realized it until we got T.

No he's just extremely loud I think there's something wrong with him lol. I just tell him to shut up and we laugh about it, I guess it isn't that easy with your daughter.
Yep, I even had a similar experience with a squealing TV. I managed to deal with it though.

I think T has made me slightly phobic of certain sounds. Yesterday my T spiked for seemingly no reason so I decided to go for a walk and see if that helped at all. (which it did on the walk) I walked up this bush path that I used to ride my bike on, which was also a path people took their dirtbikes sometimes. Due to it being a windy day with trees blowing everywhere I thought I could hear dirtbikes in the distance most of the walk so I was constantly paranoid about one zooming around a corner and going right past me out of the fear it could worsen my T.

Sherri, same thing. My husband was doing yard work and was carrying the leaf blower and I almost panicked at the thought of him turning it on.
