hyperacusis
this could be from numerous things: neurological disorder, some rx meds cause this, ADD/ADHD, illicit drugs, even PTSD.
mine is pretty rough, but i found that between my ADD meds and anti-axiety meds and my iPod i can function perfectly.
i tend to use Excellent Circumaural headphones for best results, but good earbuds such as etymotics work well too.
i Do use iPod but use music that drones outsometimes just simple brown noise. some like other types of noise, thats just my preference.if you need no noise, that is extremely hard to obtain other than in a sound booth. seriously, there are so many sounds (that i am attentive to that drive me insane. thus the iPod with OTHER noise distracts from the annoying day to day sounds.
and depending on how sensitive you are. if you have headphones plugged into ANY electronic device (on or off) you will still get noise. its they way electricity travels regardless if the switch is off or on.
ps -that noise Drives Me Bonkers!best wishes
