Inb4 too big.
Recently (last year or so) I've noticed that everything seems to be amplified. I'm getting headaches from having to listen to my neighbour's music. I get earache if I listen to my own music for more than 15 minutes at a time, and I don't have it loud at all (struggling with the volume control because it goes from silent to too loud with no in between step). I can hear everything my flatmate says through the wall. I'm also losing the ability to shut out background noise so when someone's talking to me over music, I just can't hear them. If someone rustles a plastic bag or wrapper near me, it hurts! It's a really sharp pain too.
I can't afford to go to an audiologist at the moment, will probably go see a doctor soon, but seriously, what the fuck's going on? Anyone got ideas? Similar stories?
