Sensory overload no more…
I came to the switch through a bit of a different pathway with a hearing related issue.
After getting hearing aids in my early 30’s for a life long hearing impairment I started experiencing a set of seemingly unrelated symptoms that gradually worsened over the next 6 years.
After no success with doctors, a physiotherapist familiar with the condition and symptoms diagnosed sensory overload. My audiologist mentioned that sensory overload is quite a common occurrence when people start using hearing aids later in life. It was useful knowing what was happening and why, however I was told by medical professionals and audiologists that there was nothing that could be done and that I should get used to living with the symptoms.
