In reply to Johan Terblanche. Maybe you can retire to somewhere quiet when it is time. I had to move a few years ago, having lost my house in a flood. I went from a very quiet neighborhood to a house by the airport. The planes coming in or leaving are so close, you can clearly see the people. At least I don't feel the vibration from the engine noise in my ribs.

I believe sensitivity and shyness go together. There might be shy people who are not super sensitive, but in my long life I have never met a super sensitive person who is not also shy. I sometimes joke that we introverts need to stick together, from the safety of our own home.

In reply to pinkie lynn.

Wish I had the option, I work in an extremely loud office, people screaming swearing etc. thru all this I have to speak on the phone. I have to hear the phone ring, and wort of all, I’m the only one in the office that have to do that. Then the loud chewing… the list is endless…

In reply to pinkie lynn. Yes absolutely, car noises etc. Where I wait for the but a lot of super cars are tested it is a horrific! Not to mention, the city bus service people hooting under the building where we stand etc. the list is endless. I live in the worst possible country for a HSP...

In reply to David J. I used to wear headphones at work; not to listen to music, to drown out voices and other noise.

Does anyone else feel it in your ribs when a large diesel engine, like on a delivery truck is idling and making that low thrumming noise?

I have come to the realization that I have Hyperacousis — a sensitivity to loud sounds and noises. Much of what this article is saying describes me quite well, so perhaps I am a HSP, too.
It’s difficult to convey to people how loud sounds make me feel. Advice to “just tune it out” is unhelpful, because I can’t.
