Members responded strongly to the question about sensitivity to loud noises, with many confirming that noise sensitivity is a real and shared struggle, often worse on some days than others. Several members described specific triggers like unexpected sounds, high-pitched or shrill noises, multiple people talking at once, and even church organ music, with some turning to earplugs for relief. A recurring theme was the comfort of knowing others in the community experience the same challenges, with members expressing a strong sense of belonging and shared understanding.

Yes definitely! Most of the time but sometimes I have a good day. I also cant handle too much activity or two people talking at once!

Yes! I have to wear earplugs at church because of the organ. I’m not the only one. It’s a big beautiful organ, the largest in the state. Only one in Boston is larger in New England. But the organist doesn’t seem to know how to modulate amplitude. I always wore earplugs to rock concerts. Now I carry them with me just in case I encounter a loud situation.

It doesn't have to be especially loud just if I'm not expecting it. It makes me jump.
