My problem might be odd but does anyone out there get bothered by sounds from GettoBlasters or Radios.  The sound doesn't have to be loud but audible enough to hear the murmur or the garbled sound emanating from a radio a few feet away?  It drives me batty I'm so angry at times I want to get up and smash those radios to bits.  But the funny thing is if I'm close to it and I can hear the music I'm fine with it.  Sounds like rumbling from Boom boxes or harleys do these sounds bother anyone else or am I just a loner in this predicament?

Hi Gary,

Nope, you are not a loner in this situation.  I have a hard time with the TV if it's in another room and I can only hear it softly.  For example, my husband wakes up WAY earlier than me.  Our bedroom is next to the living room where we watch TV.  He will then turn on the TV and he does keep it really low in volume but I can still hear it and it wakes me up.  I can't make out what is on but I can hear it and it drives me nuts to the point where I can no longer sleep.  Funny thing is, I can go out into the living room where I can hear it loud as can be, and fall asleep and sleep like a baby.

Go figure.

Thanks for your support Darlene, we all know how hard it is to live day by day with this problem.  It also interferes with work and the ability to perform such mundane tasks without having to get really stressed out.  My employer has abandoned all efforts into trying to get the other workers who has radios in our plant to decrease the volume so that I can work comfortably.  Unfortunately they had created a situation that is causing me to just find other options as they feel that I'm being a disruptive individual.  They didn't go so far as to say that in so many words but I know for sure they are using my problem as a scape goat to just drop the issue at work and have me see someone to try to find a solution.  So I'm left with a problem that they refuse to address even though Radios, Cellphones aren't allowed in our plant.  Go figure I wonder how come Big 3 cars fall apart before the fifth year.  Trust me the work ethics in these companies have very little to be desired and some people that work there shouldn't be alive sorry to sound very mean but that's just how some are. 

Although I don't wish this sickness on someone but I do wish it on people who can't seem to understand that someone is being bother even though you had made it known to them.  I do hope my doctor finds somekind of solution, but without winning the lottery I don't know how else to continue working comfortably without finding somekind of drug to keep me from focusing too much on such sounds and annoyances.
