I have always been extremely sensitive to sounds. I can't even vacuum without ear plugs. While annoying, I feel like it has always been a blessing in disguise because I still have great hearing and no issues with tinnitus. People used to laugh at me/question me when I would wear earplugs at concerts when I was younger. I don't want to be one of those, "I told you so" people; however, if I could talk to many of them again, I would tell them, "I told you so."
