Hello, would you mind sharing details on the treatment?
I’m really struggling at the moment with this and have moments of utter desperation.
For example an old woman moved in next door who shouts when she talks in a language other then English (Mandarin) - literally all day from morning to night. The constant background noise drove me into depression - it felt like there was no escape. I work from home.
I knew things were getting serious when despite wearing ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones over them when trying to sleep, I could still hear her talking - which was impossible. I was hearing voices in my head.
Things have improved as after repeated attempts to communicate to her through translated messages (she doesn’t speak English at all), she keeps the windows shut on the side of the house that matches mine.
Now I no longer hear “her voice in my head” and the induced depression had lifted.
But the sensitivity to sounds remains and I enter fight or flight response constantly at home.
I suspect getting permanent tinnitus from a Covid infection was a compounding factor in the heightened sensitivity.
Any advice on how to get a grip on this situation would help.
I was also diagnosed with ADHD recently.
