YIPEEE!!! Finally, after all these years, I know I'm not going bonkers
and it isn't just me that it happens to.  I was always told that I was
just `nervy'.  I have trouble hearing people if I'm not wearing my
glasses, or if there are a lot of people around - even if it isn't
that noisy, or if it is dark.  I have had many conversations with
people over the years where I haven't heard most of what they have
said.  I've developed a talent for lip reading, thank goodness.

    For example, I jump at loud noises. I can't talk to more than one person
    at a time because I get overloaded and melt down.  I need it quiet most
    of time.  I'm probably tactile defensive.  I could go on.

    Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?
