Hypersensitive Ears to Loud Noises Or Vibrations? Posted: 12-06-06 22:25pm
Okay, so I used to concerts and movies a
lot, and for the most part I still do, or
at least I still want to. But the
problem is, after I started having panic
attacks, it seems like loud noises and
vibrations really make me feel nauseated
and lightheaded. The noises don't even
have to be loud, I could be sitting in
school with a teacher talking and i'll
start to feel that way. The worst is
riding in a car with the radio on.
Something about the fast movement and the
noises make me kind of scared, I think.
The same situation happened with being in
a movie theater, where i'm surrounded by
loud noises and such. In that situation
I just left the theater and went home.
there's a concert coming up on the 29th
that i'd like to go to, preferrably
without almost having a panic attack and
needing to leave, or having the vibration
or noise trigger any bad reaction I could
have.. Anything I can take to dodge some
of those sensitive feelings? I heard
dramamine might work?
I went to my normal doctor two days ago
about it. He didn't find anything, and he
said that my hearing might just be
hypersensitive. On occasion, and not
frequently at all, I do get some ringing
in my ears. The past week I had a cold,
and i'm guessing it might have just messed
up my sinuses, but I don't know. I
thought it was a sinus infection, and I
took some decongestant and it seemed to be
gone the next day. I tried to see if I
had a lot of wax buildup in my ears, and I
only had a little bit, but maybe poking in
my ears to get out the wax was only
heightening the sensitivity already there?
Help please.
