Loud noises causing dizzyness; nausea

Post Reply New Topic

My hearing is very sensitive, like many on the spectrum. It's the sense that primarily causes overloads for me.

Now and then, there will be a loud noise that is so loud or all abrasive, I start feeling dizzy and nauseated. Does anyone else here get like this?

A good example of what can cause it for me is knives and forks loudly scratching against plates, if I am nearby.

Crowds and noisy children. I don't like hearing a ton of voices at the same time; it's overwhelming. Usually I need a couple of things combined to make me dizzy and sick. Like humidity, wind, not enough personal space, loud music playing, feeling trapped, being around other people in a personal way, ( Rather than simply being in a crowd alone), etc.

I think really loud noises in general make me dizzy. Most things at low volume are okay, for the most part.

I've never had a problem with forks or knives scraping against plates, for some reason. A friend of mine does. I'm only bothered by fingernails on chalkboards, but I think the vast majority of people agree on that. Mostly because I can visualize my nails bending backwards, and I remember how that feels.

very recognisable for me, although luckily getting really sick from sounds is rare in my case.
this might have something to do with the generally accepted noise health problems; too much noise can cause all kinds of mental and physical health problems, also in NTs, ranging from the obvious deafness to heart disease, immune system failure and trouble sleeping long afterwards; feeling nausiated sounds like a simple extension of this list, triggered by unlikely (for NTs) sounds

If you've ever been in a car accident and know that dizzy, shaken nerves feeling that you get afterwards, that's about what loud noises do to me.

Yeah I do get this when I stand RIGHT NEXT to speakers on a rave and cheesy euro-dance is playing, in fact I vomit right away and almost slip through the dreck. I blame it on the drinks and the sweat-filled air, to confuse my mates. Half my face feels paralyzed next day when I wake up in bed, also get a heavy one-sided mono ring in my head that keeps going for days.

I'm sensitive to sound.

Loud noises make me feel sick too. Among the chief offenders are loud music (especially car music), crackling noises in public loudspeakers, being under fire alarms when they go off, the volumes of some movies in movie theaters, and rocket noises at motor speedways.

loud noises can make me feel sick and dizzy too, and sometimes make me feel like grabbing the source of the noise and pounding it till it stops.(eg the neighbour's dog - or possibly the neighbour for letting their dog screech for hours at a stretch.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not normally a violent person and I usually love dogs - but after repeated requests and they still let their dogg screech at our boundary fence for hours while they stand and look at it.....)

I recently went with my husband to see about updating our mobiles phones. The store security system was for some reason giving off very loud high pitched beeps every 4 seconds or so, and I eventually said that I had to leave. He said that they might need me and I said I couldn't stay there any longer because I was going to either pass out, throw up or both. He didn't realise it was so bad.

I get this all the time I'd here my class getting loud and I feel a briefly moment of light headedness and the urge to hurl and I dont know how to prevent it
