Hi--hoping someone can help!
I live in San Francisco, near the main street of a small neighborhood (not super dense, but it's the main commercial drag of Noe Valley). Noise has been a problem for me in the past, in a previous apartment and at previous time periods. It tends to get worse and better, and has gotten extremely bad recently. I have construction around me, and kids screaming next door at the preschool (and work from home), and the bus below my window. But my sensitivity to these noises has gone through the roof.
I am currently on various of IdeaLabs and Peatish supplements, and other medications for bipolar/depression and other issues. I hesitate to list them all as, sure, any one MAY be having an effect. I'm more interested in hearing from folks who have had these issues and whether any particular hormone worsens or improves this.
@haidut would really appreciate your thoughts as i've purchased and tried a number of your products.
Curious if there is any worsening of noise sensitivity from the following:
5a-DHP (in the thread I seem to remember allopreg. in fact improves tolerance?)
Pregnenolone
Testosterone
Prolactin
Estrogen (sign of super low estrogen maybe?)
A
K2 (Mk4 kuinone especially)
Andosterone
DHT
E
Anything anyone has tried or stopped or hormones manipulated that has improved noise tolerance? I can't even meditate in my own apartment, even with earplugs. And prior experience has shown long term use even for a few hours a day of complete sound blocking earmuffs actually tends to WORSEN the hyperacusis, so I'm super hesitant to do that.
