Temporary hearing difficulty after sensory overload?

Post Reply New Topic

Yesterday I was on a school trip with my part-time course class. We went on a bus trip to see a few gardening shops in order to compare them. There was a lot of talking and socializing, fluorescent lights, scented candles etc, as well as having to be careful to watch the road when we drove as I tend to get motion sickness. When I got home I had to pick up my two kids from kindergarten, who were very loud and running around the living room when I was trying to rest. I got very tired and had social and sensoric overload.

In the evening I had several instances of not comprehending what my husband said, or what people on the TV said. I'm not sure if the problem was volume or if I just couldn't work out the meaning of their words. A couple of times I had to ask my husband to repeat himself twice before I got what he was saying.

Anyone else experienced this?

Have had that happen to me plenty of times.

For me it's my balance that fades away from sensory overload. Hence my screen name.
