I found out at the weekend that after ~15 years of hearing loss suddenly getting hearing aids (and being older, tired, grumpy, with
#AuDHD) has some negative side-effects, not least being misophonia. I yelled at P poor thing yesterday because we were in a rush to get out of the house and he started playing with a very noisy remote controlled car. Then I was in a bad mood all day because I felt bad for yelling, didn't snap out of it until this morning. Easy fix: I'm just not putting my hearing aids in as part of my morning routine, mornings are noisy and overwhelming, by not putting them in I'm reducing the sensory overload in the same way as people who wear ear defenders.
