ABSOLUTELY!!! there are times that I am just so sensitive to sound I am plugging my ears and wrapping my head with tight straps to just STOP the pain and noise. When mine happens at times I can even see the sound in that it causes visual appearance of light streaking around my field of vision and then that of course hurts my ON. Sometimes its also just a particular pitch that sets it off and not the volume or intensity of the sound!!

I went through a period when i could hear train coming to the approach very loudly before they got there ,aeroplanes flying over the noise was terrific like super human hearing and then it just seemed to pass .I have had these episodes following a relapse on many occassions the sensation in your ears is terrible and hurts them alot i even considered wearing ear plugs for some relief until it stopped.Mine now has passed and is back to normal.goodluck

Yes! We had a post about this during the summer I think. It was either here or the Fibro forum.
I described it as being able to "feel" the noise. It is hard to get other people to understand. But if a door slams, or even my H just closing his armoire in the morning it is like an electrical impulse runs through me.

My hearing was already great before I was dx....now.....it is just magnified....all the sound I can hear the average person cannot...you know, ants crawling and so forth! lol

I am very senitive to loud noises. Loud music, loud voices. I can't hear over it or talk over it. I can't even think over it.

I havent been dx with MS yet but I will say that I experience the same. My ears are super sensitive at times. Like dogs5 I go through times where I can hear noises from a mile away. My husband said I have bionic ears. HA They also hurt so bad that I have ringing in them and it causes my head to hurt. I have been told that it is migranes but I beg to differ. I cant get anyone to agree w/ what I say. I am glad that I am not the only one. Everyone thinks I am just nuts. There are also times that I go when I cant hear a blasted thing. I remember when I was pregnant with my first child. I went 2 days not being able to hear anything. The doctors couldnt figure it out. It finally came back with this terrible ringing in my ears and a head ache. So they said migranes again. Wierd what can happen to us huh?

I have moments where someone will be talking to me in a normal voice yet my ears will pick it up like it is full volume sterio and blast my ears out. And it hurts my eardrums! I get gawd awful earraches too on my left side. I dont have a remedy for the noise situation since this is new to me since this past summer.

I jump everytime my hubby starts the car his music is loadand I'm not expecting it. I also hate any noise, even the tv bothers me. when people talk load it makes me jump.

I CAN RELATE TO THAT.TO ME IT LITERALLY GETS ON MY NERVES AND MAKES ME JERKY.

Oh, all this sounds so familiar, and I thought I was going crazy because I cannot tolerate noise. My ears are extremely sensitive, and lots of noise rattles me to where I become confused and have to remove myself from the noisy situation. I have also learned the value of earplugs when my husband watches television. :-)
