It’s driving me crazy. Partner on phone, playing videos and games while the TV is running some YouTube reaction stuff.

I wear noise cancelling headphones all day at home because it’s just too much. The volume is so high I can hear it through a closed door. My PC is in the same room as the TV and I can’t even concentrate on a tutorial on how to do some editing stuff.

Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

Anyone in a similar situation?

    i have something called hyerpacusis, where certain frequencies or the volume will cause pain, i do have a very acute sense of hearing.

      I’ve developed hearing loss as I’ve gotten older and have noticed that I find loud noises physically painful but they don’t seem to be an issue for people around me. I don’t remember it being a problem when I was younger.
