Highly Sensitive Person and Noise Sensitivity

Hi everyone,

I am what’s called a highly sensitive person which means my brain is wired differently (similar to autism from what I’m learning). It makes me incredibly sensitive to noise. On top of it, I think I’m in a constant state of heightened anxiousness. Like, I’ve made huge life changes to lessen stressors but I feel underneath my body is still in a state of constant anticipation of something happening. It takes very little for me to go immediately into fight or flight. It’s exhausting and lately over the past number of years what’s been really triggering is sound. I moved from a noisy city with constant sound to a super small town and I’m still getting triggered by my neighbors who share a wall!! I have to find a solution because I feel like my nervous system is on overdrive and I’m overreacting but I’ve also learned that HSPs are this way so it makes me feel totally disempowered and hopeless - like I need to move to a cabin in the woods to stay in a good state of wellness. I listen to the vagus nerve audio but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Yes. I mean ultimately I’d like to do something similar. But in the meantime I feel like my nervous system is shot and on overdrive and am hoping to find tools to help. It’s not balanced. Thanks for your response. I’m glad you found your peace. :brown_heart:

Yes. I walk twice a day in the woods near me. I get out into nature as much as possible as it’s my saving grace in life.

Another thing, if nothing works… This series is perfect for sensitive people, and It seems the second one is best for anxiety with people…

i used to have something similar. It came and went. I found that by pretending noises i found loud (normal noises) were fine, over time it helped rewired my brain into correcting how it interpreted the sound. People simply talking went from extremely loud, almost to the point it was unbearable, to more how it should be. Ive fallen off the wagon a few times including now, so i need to keep trying. it may help you as well especially if you are in a situation where you have no choice but to deal with it
