Cómo la sensibilidad al ruido altera la mente, el cerebro y el cuerpo

Lingard

Noise sensitivity affects up to 40% of people and can lead to stress, anxiety, and sleep problems, even when the sounds are quiet or normal. Unlike conditions like misophonia or hyperacusis, noise sensitivity is a general overreaction to everyday sounds, often due to the brain's inability to filter out background noise. This constant alertness can lead to physical and mental health problems over time. Although it may be partly due to genetics or related to anxiety or neurodivergent conditions, people can manage it with tools like noise-cancelling headphones, therapy, or relaxing activities. The most important thing is to recognize that it is a real and valid experience, which helps people feel less alone and more in control.
