Hi Maria, I’m sorry to hear about your son. Unfortunately I wasn’t ever made aware of any medications which help with noise sensitivity. I can only suggest asking his doctor or a pharmacist.

Ed, I hope that just like you grew out of suffering each time the vacuum cleaner was on, I hope you do with low frequency sounds and vibrations. It’s so difficult, especially when they are sounds that are just part of everyday life and you can’t avoid them.

Oh my – your experience is just like mine.

I did eventually out grew the vacuum cleaner sound ripping me aprt. There was a period – for years, I had to leave the house. I am still very sensitive to low frequency sounds, low frequency vibrations – an idling diesel engine can make me nauseous. Same with certain motorcycles. It is helpful to know I am not alone!

I hate the sound of motorbikes and they don’t set off a headache for me so my heart goes out to you. It must be like hell when they hang around for hours.

It’s such a bind that overstimulation from noise can soak up your concentration span. I feel for you as I’m sure the problem you’re doing is tough enough as it is.

Sounds horrible, sorry you have to go through that
