Love the voices that seem to appear and disappear like they're floating on the wind. They're amazing.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Huh. I got stung behind the ear by a bee when I was a kid, now whenever I hear any kind of buzz anywhere within close proximity to my ears I reflexively smash my shoulder to the ear to block it off without even thinking. I don't know if that's exactly what that condition describes but maybe that's my excuse for acting suddenly crazy when a fly zips by haha.

Thank you - as an air sign this seems to track

Oh my that sounds traumatic! I think when you go through something like that with the bee of course your brain would rewire to say DANGER! DANGER! Not sure that's misophonia though cause that's a rational reaction to danger! sound stimuli - though I don't know a lot about it. 

I have sensory processing challenges & extra sensitive hearing (I can hear dog whistles & HF sounds not everyone can hear). I seem to have been wired that way from the get go however I had frontal lobe trauma in my teen years that I think also doesn't help with modulating emotions around the sensitive hearing. I only recently learned there was a word for this kinda sound sensitivity.

I can not ignore dog barking & it puts me in a rage.  Especially when it sounds like the animal is hurt or scared or plain being ignored.  I can't go back to sleep when the neighbors are yelling & I go right into fight or flight when I hear that. I get shaky and want to jump out of my skin when people are drunk and fighting, run air compressors, weed whackers, leaf blowers etc.  Certain chewing food sounds/saliva sounds etc. picked up in recordings make stomach turn.  I used to pop balloons as a child for fear of having to hear the balloon popping.  My poor little brother got so mad at me for popping his ballons but I lived in panic for the moment the balloon would pop without me knowing & scare me (it physically hurt).  I loose my train of thought & have physical reactions to it. Like right now the neighbor just turned on his air compressor & I'm struggling to get the words out on this comment...

Working on music and listening to music often helps when I can't block out the ambient sound around me - off to block out the air compressor
