Worst Sounds to Phonophobic Ears
By Kerrie | May 8, 2008
Metal curtain rings sliding across the metal shower rod is the absolute worst sound when a migraine makes my ears ultra-sensitive to sound. My fingers clattering on the keyboard is pretty unpleasant, too.
What sounds make your ears cringe and head scream?

Teeth brushing. Listening to Hart brush his teeth last night was torture.

The squeak and groan of our garage door opening and closing.
Also the sound of a fork hitting certain types of plates/bowls. The most problematic brand is the one that never breaks. We’ve given ours away in favour of natural pottery which doesn’t make the same kind of sound.

A newborn’s scream on a crowded airplane.

Hi, someone just sent me the link to this blog, great stuff thank you so much for having it.
For me the worst is electronics that are in ’standby’ mode or on ‘mute’. That high pitched, vibration niose. And hush machines/white noise machines. Ugh. Makes me nuts even when I don’t have a migraine, 100x worse when I do.

The organ at our church is too loud. I’ve had to stop going to church because it brings me to tears.

Any noise that a human can make- snorting, nose blowing, chewing… you name it and it hurts.

The automatic toilets at work. What makes it worse is you don’t know when they will flush, so they startle you too! I try to get out of the stall before they flush when I have a migraine, but it usually doesn’t happen.

I’m particularly bothered by sounds like a fan on high, the barking of the two miniature Dachshunds two doors down (they bark ALL day when I’m home with a migraine), garbage trucks, anyone cutting their lawn or cutting down a tree. They make an already horrible situation even worse.
