I've been wishing to go deaf for 3 years now..

Thanks for the advice, and yes, my environment is very noisy. I'm not sure if my mother will take me, but you're right.

I'm in America, and yes, I'm 17, but it's definitely not stress causing my sensitive hearing. I could be sound asleep and relaxed and then I'm suddenly woken up by loud bumping noises. My guesses are because I don't have ear wax, or it could be hyperacusis or a disorder. Or I could be just cursed if there's no other explanation. I have to have a parent to take me in America.

No, but I suffer a great discomfort during loud noises. A lot of times, I end up getting a headache afterwards. The sounds be so loud and unbearable that I feel like sticking a pencil in my ear. Especially the bus brakes. They're torture. When I first got this problem, I thought I had hyperacusis, but the ent said I was perfectly fine, but I still suffered for three years after that. Apparently he was wrong. I asked my mother if she can take me again, but she says she won't be able to because she has to work on week days.

None of those worked. Neither did noise reducers. But I may as well go get tested, so I can find the solution and treatment.

Forgot to add: I am driving now, so I am away from the torture trap aka the bus. I still suffer loud noises at school, home, and anywhere else, especially kids. My sensitive hearing has lead me to no longer like the presence if kids, and I can't even feel safe around babies especially. Spending the night at my grandmother's house by myself with just her finishes the torture, but then I'm plagued by people motoring by her house which makes it hard to get good sleep. It literally sounds like a motorcycle gang driving by. At home, I would have to be by myself for peace from the torture except for the squeaky plumbing. I would drive to my appointment on the 25th, but I will probably need my mother for the insurance it requires. It seriously took a lot of begging to convince my mother to get me this kind of help. My grand mother has sent me a pink noise CD, but it's hard to get to it when I live in such a noisy enviorment. I have to wait til my brother goes to bed at 9 and hope that my mother isn't in the kitchen fiddling with the cabinets and pots and pans or glass plates. I can't be in the same room with a loud bass. I wear earplugs when I clean the dishes because of the loud clanging noise they make. I may be able to drive, but it doesn't stop my problems from getting any worse. As long as I'm stuck with this problem forever, I will never be comfortable again. This is my life since I first for sensitive hearing: I have my TV turned down because of high pitched noises that sound on some of the shows I watch, I stay in my room most of the time especially when my older cousin comes over with the babies, my mother thinks of me as a bully to my brother because I get mad at him for stomping up and down the stairs and making high noises, and I am always angry and depressed having no choice but to take my anger out on them for not listening and understanding or even caring that I suffer from loud noises every day. She brings up all kinds of excuses disregarding my loudness discomfort by saying that i was in orchestra with the so-called squeaky instruments when I first got sensitive hearing, but that was FOUR YEARS AGO, and we didn't even play songs with notes that high anyway. She uses her experience against me and denies my problems. The only reason she is even taking me to get help is to shut me up or because grandma probably convinced her to even get me help for this. The worst this problem gets, the more it drives me away from family. I used to be a happy and loud child in elementary, but now I'm a miserable and sensitive-eared adult about to graduate high school. If anyone had family advice that has to do with sensitive hearing, I don't know... My family doesn't even believe I have this problem. They think I'm just finding something to get mad at them about. Maybe I'm just the black sheep.. Either way, I'm desperate for help, and I'm wishing to go deaf for relief.

Sounds like you have a symptom or condition called Hyperacusis.  Did this start due to loud noise exposure?  Do you have other symptoms like dizziness hearing heartbeat etc.  I also have sensitive hearing.  After the noise goes way do you have lingering pain?  You are not alone.  There are a lot of people dealing with this.   Let me know if you need help finding others.

I don't know. It just happened when I was in the middle of 8th grade. Noises just started getting louder, and sometimes, I do hear heartbeat mostly when my shoulder is pressed up against my ear. I also get a headache or a bit of lingering pain after suffering so many noises at once without rest... At first, my mother didnt believe me. She thought I was acting. Then the doctor said I was perfectly fine, so I resorted to earplugs when the condition started worsening. Now, 4 years later, its to the point where earplugs don't help anymore. I'm now scheduled to get another hearing test on the 25th, and I'm hoping the doctor finds something. If not, then I'm resorting to finding ways to go deaf. My mother keeps saying that it's just me hating noise or that its in my head, but it can't be. I just hope this audiologist can find something and a way to help it, or it's over for me. I would be doomed to a life of suffering unless I go deaf.

I understand the use of ear plugs, even though my noise sensitivity has improved, I still carry these with me and use them on occasion.  Sorry these are not as effective for you now.  You should read up on Hyperacusis.  There are online support groups for this where you can get support and help and ask questions from others going through the same thing.  Hyperacusis is a physical not a psychological problem.  For many people, it is caused by acoustic trama ( being exposed to very loud sound).  There are other conditions that have Hyperacusis as a symptom like Superior Canal Dehiscence (SCDS).  I have sensitive hearing from SCDS.  It would be a good idea to get tested for this to rule it out.  To get this testing you would need to work with an ENT Dr.  Both Hyperacusis and SCDS are rare conditions.  It is very possible that the Audiologist might not have experience with these.  It is good to do some of your own research so you can advocate for yourself.  Make sure during your hearing test to mention SCDS.  It is good to have bone conduction hearing measured to the lowest sound level the machine supports (below 0dB)  Some hearing tests stop testing at 0 which is normal hearing because they are looking for hearing loss.  However people with SCDS have supernormal bone conduction hearing that is much better than normal.   Make sure to start a file and get copies of each test result.   Don’t give up, it can take a few Dr appointments and maybe more than one Dr.  These problems can be difficult to diagnose.  One thing to be careful of is to avoid test settings with noise levels that are painful for you.  Loud noise exposure can make Hyperacusis symptoms worse.  Be sure to inform the audioologist of your concerns and stop the test if they use sound levels that cause you pain.   I am happy to keep in touch, I am so sorry that you are going through this at such a young age.

Sadly, when my audiogist tested me, she said my hearing was normal. She referred me to an ENT to see if she missed anything important. I highly doubt that he or she qpuld find anything... Thia was my only hope for help of this problem, but no one seems to see any problem.. There's just no help for me. Maybe I'm just cursed. There's no other explanation for my suffering besides hyperacusis, and everyone claims my hearing is normal. I will be seeing the ENT on Thursday. After that, I plan to go deaf when I get older. I'll just donate my ear drums when I get the money. Cause I just can't go through my life suffering like this anymore. I give up! Unless there is a way I can "magically" gr rid of my sensitive hearing, my only option for relief is going deaf.
