I have an issue with loud noises. How can I overcome it? ?

Answer 1

I do also.  People drop dishes behind me and never bother to say, "I'm sorry!"  Or something happens with a loud bang and I jump about 10 feet.  This sensitivity to noise has a name, but I can't remember it.  The best way I have found to contend with it is to deep breathe, immediately.... and keep it going until your heart stops racing.  Try it.  I hope it helps you.

Answer 2

What you have to do is what I did.

Get ear plugs.

Answer 3

It's both normal and unavoidable.  Some people swear by ear-plugs as a good way to sleep.
