Noise sensitivity - drives me crazy

[totallyfedup]

I have had a lovely day today, DH who normally works from home has been in the office so it’s just been DD1 and I in the house. It’s been so quiet we had lunch together then watched MAFS in the living room in peace.

DH come home and I cannot handle the house, he’s a very loud person, he stomps rather than walks, he shouts random things out. He’s watching tv as he’s making dinner (I know I should be grateful he’s making dinner and I am). He play fights the teenage DC causing them to scream. I know we don’t live in a library and noise is to be expected by the shouting and screaming is too much for me.

Then there’s the computer games just now two of them are screaming at screams later it will be four of them. I have fantasies about buying a caravan and going out there to it with lots of cushions and blankets, electric hook up, wi-if and peace and quiet.

I’ve asked th all to quieten down that I’m super sensitive to noise because of my fibromyalgia and that it hurts me but DH says it’s a noisy house and I have to deal with it

Has your DH not always been like this?

how long have you been noise sensitive

have you spoken to him about it and yet he Carries on at this volume?

Buy ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones or such

DH says it’s a noisy house and I have to deal with it

that is cruel if you have a medical condition that makes you noise sensitive

but how many children do you have?

You seem to have a large family of multiple children in a small house

i think you just have to suck it up and buy yourself some headphones!

Does he drink op?

If you can handle having things in your ears, I’d recommend these https://www.flareaudio.com/ they help reduce the noise around you. I use them quite a bit and they do help me around my environment

I hate it too, stbexh is noisy on purpose because he knows it hurts me (I have a hypoacousis diagnosis).
I drugs I've previously taken jave helped if it's any use OP, one is citalopram, I'd I've met someone else who says it heped them too. And also propranolol .

I have four teenage children, House is not small but new build so paper thin walls.

yes DH has always been like this

I am looking into headphones as he says it’s a noisy house and I have to deal with it.

Im not asking them to stop talking or laughing but the screaming it actually hurts. I spend most evenings up on my bedroom now to get some peace
