Sensory Audio... I Thought I Was Just Going Crazy

by Cris
(Texas)

I am 31yrs old, married for 11yrs and have 3 children. I was looking into SPD because of my middle child, of which fits much of what I have read, when I also realized I seem to fall into a lot of the symptoms. I have always had over sensitive hearing. I get overly annoyed by just hearing someone next to me chewing food not to mention if they smack.

Background noises seem to be louder than what I'm working on. I have to sleep with ear plugs and I can still hear every little noise and can even identify who is walking down the hall just by the sound of their foot steps. I LOVE music because sometimes it's the only saving grace to drowned out all the other sounds. I can live with everything else I seemed to fit symptomatically but not this.

Anyone else experience this?

I love hearing things others don't, particularly birds. I can hear them when I'm inside the house. However, as a child I always sat at the very back of the classroom so I could be as far away as possible from the sound of the felt erasers on the chalkboard. Even thinking about it makes me shudder!

My daughter cannot stand the sound of hands rubbing together. Even flicking crumbs off your fingers causes her pain!

We tried SAMONAS therapy - which helped with her processing disorder - but it had no effect on her hearing. I have, however, known people for whom SAMONAS therapy was quite helpful in helping them filter some of the noise.

Best wishes. You're not the only one!
