Hypersensitivity to sound.

Post Reply New Topic

This is something where I am hoping for the entire community to help out.
I have found ** answers for myself. ** I know how debilitating some of these factors are. I had one and "a bit" hyper projects in my own life. But there are so many "hyper" conditions and potentially "hypo" conditions also.

The tool I have is here
viewtopic.php?t=280123

I spent a long time in great detail on discussing aspects of the tool.
Others will need the details if they are to build their own versions.

Because it is rather limited.
It is feedback based.
The fact I am using it "On the brain" with feedback in outcomes, rather than in the body with feedback from muscles does not change its nature.
I can only change "something my brain is aware of" - be it a muscle I can identify or a part of the brain I already use. I cannot use THIS tool to create hypersensitivity to smell, touch, or sight. I do not know where they are in the brain.
I know where the NORMAL parts are, not the hyper parts.

BUT I can use this tool to change when I already know the parts of the brain.

The only people who can find answers using this tool are those with the various conditions. The various conditions being other sound problems, sight problems, smell problems, touch problems.

Once the answers are found, they can be taught to others. Experts can take over afterwards.

Community finds answers - teaches the experts - they adapt them for use in children - everyone wins.

There is my goal.
Hope everyone comes on board.

Now ... my particular version of hypertension to sound was pretty simple - and told to me when I tried to do a course to help my condition. It was a brain training course in sounds. They told me the problem, I hear through the skin - and their solution - to build a filter. They tried to program my "skin input" by sending sounds into my ears. FAIIILLLUREE.

part of this comes from a theory on evolution, the change in humans because we developed relationships with dogs ... and the sense of smell. Apparently a very large part of the brain was used for smell. When we developed the relationships with dogs, we turned the ability way, way down. This apparently freed up large parts of the brain and allowed us to develop - or so the theory goes.

A bit of online research finds that there are lots of people who have hypersensitivity to smell - and they find it hard to live in the modern world. Some cannot eat cooked foods. They just do not fit in a world where this ability has been turned down.

So here was my model. We were at one time evolved with hyper senses. As we changed - we found other ways such as dogs to do this for us. We closed them down as a species which freed up our minds to do something else.
Our current society makes us out of place if we are hyper ...

And now we come to the specifics.
In my case I pictured us evolving so we heard with our skin. But when we evolved ears, they gave us two specialised pieces of information - distance and direction.
So we did not use the skin much any more.

The picture I had in my mind - two inputs, turn one off with a switch. And this is what I used to "turn off the skin."
And I knew (feedback) I have turned off the skin when I went into a noisy environment and did not feel as though somebody had beaten me up.

But for children - you might need something like setting up a sound system with a fixed amp, and feeding the fixed amp are two feeds - one is "background" where you cannot change the input, the other a cd player where you can turn up and down the volume.
If they play with the system, they cannot control the background sound.
But after a little, pull the plug on the background sound.

Once they can picture what you want them to do as "Pull the plug" they can do this for themselves.

The outcome is interesting. I used to play audiobooks to "mask" the background noise. I could ignore them to some extent as I knew the stories and did not need to pay any heed.
After I turned off the skin, I noticed I was no longer paying attention. I might be doing something and when "I get back to it" I find whole chapters of the audiobook have been ignored. That was new. Before, I was "always aware."

Eventually - for interest, I turned on the skin again. It felt like an entire area of the brain was hard at work. Not that I could measure it. But it felt like it.

Sorry, i do not fully understand what you are asking with your post.
Please can you reword your post and explain what kind of info you want from others.
Then i, and likely others will try and help.
Thanks
