Comment la sensibilité au bruit perturbe l'esprit, le cerveau et le corps

Lingard

Noise sensitivity affects up to 40% of people and can cause stress, anxiety, and poor sleep, even when sounds are soft 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 state of alert can, over time, lead to physical and mental health problems. While it may be partly genetic or linked to anxiety or neurodivergent conditions, it can be managed with tools like noise-canceling headphones, therapy, or calming activities. The most important thing is to recognize that it's a real and legitimate experience, which helps those affected feel less alone and more in control.
