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

does he turn the TV down if you ask him to?

hugs!!

@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!

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

@highwire: omg, people. yes, yelling at a baby is always the best way to calm them O_o srsly.

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.

No advice just sympathy. I tell DH to turn the tv down at least twice a day.... Now he just calls me sonic ear

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.
