I struggle really bad with noise.. I have misophonia. Some people have mild forms where they have trouble with noises like eating sounds/chewing and then some people hate most sounds (yay I fall into this category) I have struggled since I was 11.. back then there wasn't a name for it. Years ago it was called 4s and then eventually misophonia became the term but most doctors still don't know anything about it and there is no cure or real solid treatment
I wear earplugs 24/7 unless i'm not at home and I always have a white noise machine going too. It pretty much impacts my entire life. I try to hide it when I'm with people as I"m really embarrassed by it and I don't want people to know how bad it can actually be for me. I don't think i'd be able to work out of the home so I'm really really thankful that I'm able to do what I do for a job. Often times I think people think i'm just being dramatic or overreacting but there isn't a day I don't think about it.
Dogs barking and music from neighbours is a huge struggle
