Hello all, I am new here.
My name is Ecca, and ever since I was three years old in preschool my Hyperacusis started. I do not know the cause, though I have been labeled by councilors at my school as "Having Auditory Problems" And "Sensory Issues".
I recall going through a series of counseling for these problems. I HATED all noise. I recall crying every time kids screamed, or some load noise came to be. I could hear EVERY SINGLE noise in the room of my school, as well as outside of it. This even happened in my house. All horses bothered me. t did not help that I lived by a busy road either. Cars constantly passing by drove me insane, as well as my neighbors mowing the lawn and using weed whackers by my window. Dogs barking would make me wail in pain, I hated the frequency of noise they produced.
This would all escalate to Insomnia, and increase of my severe anxiety to this very day. People screaming at me would trigger a fight or flight response, as well as a severe migraine from the pitch of the sound level. I hate noise, so I listen to music allot.
Music is the only form of sound that does not bother me as much. Though at times, my ears and head start to hurt putting headphones in. Hyperacusis is like living with constant screaming in my head. I hear ringing in my ears, amplified noises. I can hear my mom saying something under her breath when I am in a separate room! Noises hurt my head and it's a constant anxiety for me. What do I do? I just realized that I have Hyperacusis.
Has anyone else here gone through something similar to Hyperacusis?
How does it ruin and affect your life? I cannot leave my house now because EVERYTHING is so horribly loud. The people talking, walking, the traffic, the cars motor noise, everything I can hear when I leave my home. I cannot afford therapy for this, or treatments. What should I do?
Thank you for your time!
