[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why sensitivity to noise would indicate a disorder.  Humans evolved outdoors. Living indoors makes everything louder. I bet most people who are sensitive to noise would not have this problem as much outside.[/quote]
This is such an interesting take - I’ve never thought of it like this before but this 100% applies to me.

OP, I agree with the recommendation for the Loop earplugs. They have different levels of noise reduction. I bought the ones with the highest level without actually being earplugs, and was initially incredibly disappointed because I felt they didn’t do anything. But there are certain scenarios where just making all the whining and surrounding noise softer really does help.

Another thing I do that helps is to just put ONE wireless earphone in and play an upbeat playlist that makes you happy. I disagree with the audiobook recommendation; your loud family will drown out the audiobook and it will feel hellish trying to make out yet another extra voice. Background music is the way to go.[/quote]
