#auditory hypersensitivity

Does anyone else feel like their eardrums are about to explode when they are in a crowded room for a while. Like the moment I walk into a crowded room, I already feel my energy fading away. I hear the loud cracking noise of paper to my left and the conversation between two people on my left.

By the end of the day, even the slightest sound is so painful to my ears. I would love to follow the conversation, and while I hear (and feel) the sounds, my brain is struggling so hard to keep up with the words.

I have this for as long I can remember and I don’t know if this happens to everyone.
