Loud TV bothers me and sudden loud noises like a random dog's bark in the house will make me jump. I don't know how to deal with it either. I was hoping this would go away post-birth! Guessing it might not... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929777 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 05:17:05 +0000 Bookish 929777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally sympathize, I have terrible anxiety about people noise. The kids playing in my street, embarrassingly, piss me off because I hate hearing noise from other people when I'm in my house. When we lived in an apartment it was hoooorrible. So yeah, it sucks and my only advice is to just talk yourself down in hour head. I *know* the kids are being kids and it's so great they are outdoors playing, so I just keep repeating that. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929766 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:44:41 +0000 Cherrybee 929766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't handle background noise at all. I HATE the TV, I didn't even have one in my house til DH moved in! If im watching something, fine, but if I'm not (which is most of the time) the constant noise from it drives me crazy! Its like someone scraping their nails down a blackboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929694 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 00:32:19 +0000 MamaJ 929694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of have the same issue. I don't mind the tv on at all but I hate when it's loud. And I have really good hearing so I keep it low and DH keeps is so loud. Our entire relationship I have been telling him to turn the tv down. He got headphones for video games but then he talks to people online and shouts because its so loud in his ear. Ugh we actually got in an argument about it last night because he woke me up. </p> <p>No advice just sympathy. I tell DH to turn the tv down at least twice a day.... Now he just calls me sonic ear :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929656 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:47:57 +0000 wheres_c 929656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell FI to put on his headphones because the noise stops me from relaxing! But I'm outspoken like that.<br /> Would he go for wireless headphones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929516 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:17:58 +0000 Penny Lane 929516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: omg, people. yes, yelling at a baby is always the best way to calm them O_o srsly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929510 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:15:06 +0000 DillonLion 929510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: oh yes the multiple sources!! We have guests visiting and the baby will cry and they will yell over her trying to calm her down. Noo. Please stop that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929504 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:10:20 +0000 Penny Lane 929504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: the worst for me is noise from multiple sources all at the same time. growing up, my family liked to have the tv on, music in the background, then yell over the top of it to talk to each other. agh!</p> <p>maybe if you just keep telling him to turn it down, he'll get the picture and leave it down? or, other option: conveniently "lose" a TV cord ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929503 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:07:37 +0000 DillonLion 929503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: most of the time </p> <p>I'm sorry you've had it most of your life! It is so jarring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929501 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:05:35 +0000 Penny Lane 929501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been noise sensitive most of my life. Still don't know how to deal with it other than telling everyone else to shut up O_o </p> <p>does he turn the TV down if you ask him to?</p> <p>hugs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/noise-sensitivityanxiety#post-929495 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:02:09 +0000 DillonLion 929495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since LO was born I've had on and off struggles with PPD. Something that is still lingering is sensitivity to noise. Particularly tv. I just want to set my tv on fire! DH plays it so incredibly loud all the time and I'm having such anxiety from the noise of it! I just hate it. I need some silence! </p> <p>I think it also steam from the fact that I need to be able to listen and hear if the baby is crying and that's hard to do when my house is filled with noise. </p> <p>Anyone else noise sensitive? Any ideas on how to address this? </p>
