Am I right that noise is a problem for you?
Kids who have had sinus allergies or chronic ear infections are at risk for this down the road. Not to this extent but at least to some extent. Our technology advances IMO is the main driving culprit behind the supposed ADD ADHD epidemic. The kids likely have C.A.P.D. but the noises and visual stimulation unprecidented until the past 20 or so years is wreaking Havoc and most persons do not even know what is doing it to them. Professionals aren't making the obvious link.
I can walk into a busy Walmart and I can pick them out LOL. The shoppers with the deer in headlights look or the ones becoming agiated minute by minute are likely Vestibular patients. That's why we shop very late at night. Don't get me wrong I get out and about daily. But I pick the times and places. I can run into a store now and grab a few items and get out OK but I can't do the monthly shopping during busy times. I'll leave the stuff sitting because it confuses me so.
By the Grace Of GOD when my wife and I have needed answers about our conditions they were given us. By The Grace Of GOD when my wife went pyschotic and was halicunating thinking she was Tess on Touched BY An Angel I did something six doctors did not. I looked up Zoloft and Trazadone +adverse reactions. The answers came real fast even down to the teaching hospitals pharmacology professors article on Serotonin Syndrome. Convincing the doctors was a different matter. She still has partial amnesia. They actually took her off the meds in the hospital then a Psychiatrist who never saw her before put her back on Zolot. An hour after the pil she was in Serotonin Syndrome again.
She is also a quadriplegic of 28 years. We married after the fact a second marrigae for both of us. Her previous marriage was physically abusive. Less than a year before I met my wife now I had lost my first wife to a massive heart attack at age 23. Thus a major factor leading to my PTSD and a few more very unsettling traumatic events we both faced in a short time.
Ten years later my brain said enough. It was dealing with the Cognitive corrections of my Vestibular and sensory issues. That is unnoticed stress the brain is under all the time. It got compounded by the other events and my brain couldn't juggle it anymore. Like a computer processing task above it's rated capacity it froze up and crashed LOL.
