I Asked My Doctor About My Sensitivity To Sound And He Said It's Not Related To Epilepsy Or A Reaction To The Meds - Now What?
he didn't know what it was from or have any other suggestions. two years ago, I went to my cousin's wedding and reception. Now I can't walk into a department store without having a reaction and seizure from the background music. It makes me feel so trapped.
Sorry to hear that! I would think best to do is take action upon how much it affects, or aggravates you. I would say either switch meds or if it doesn't affect you until in an extremely loud area just be careful in how loud it is around you.
I'm sorry to hear your doctor didn't have any suggestions for what's causing your sensitivity to sound. That must be very frustrating and make situations like going to the store quite difficult. Since loud noises can be a seizure trigger for some with epilepsy, it seems reasonable that your sensitivity could be related even Show Full Answer
I was going to suggest noise cancelling earphones, but RenellBailey's suggestion is much better.
This may sound weird. So sound can overstimulate. Then overstimulation can be the actual trigger. They have these cool hollow earplugs for overstimulation. My daughter uses them at school for Autism. Her classes can be loud, and then she just wants to run for quiet. They work so well for her. It's not the same condition, but they work for simplifying sound to the brain. A suggestion. You can leave me a message if you want help finding them. I got them on Amazon.
I agree with MyEpilepsyTeam. Keep a log to know where it's coming from & when it's happening. That way, you can find a solution to prevent it.
