DH is noisy. He cannot speak or do anything in a moderate or quiet way. He opens doors like he is desperately trying to break out of a room, and closes them with a slam. He can only talk loudly or shout. His version of whispering is talking in a day to day voice.
He stomps around everywhere. Floors creek under him because he puts so much pressure down on each foot. He turns the TV up to a deafening volume. He makes noises to clear his sinuses at 4am which can wake up the whole house. When he blows his nose it's like a gigantic, high pressure balloon has just been released and is spluttering around the room.
When he coughs or sneezes, it's a shout. He slams items down on the work surface, slams pans on to the hob and shuts cupboard doors with a slam. He snores - you've guessed it - loudly, and he has nightmares where he screams and shouts.
This has so many more consequences now we have DC. He wakes them up at night, and the noises scare them during the day.
I have tried to talk to him about it but he says he has no idea what I am going on about. He accuses me of being controlling if I warn him in advance to do something quietly. I have become someone who is constantly shushing him, which I hate doing.
My DM has suggested that he may be slightly deaf. What do you think?
