I hope the Sound Screen works for you! I bought something like that . . . I can't remember if that's what it was called, but it was a small round white noise maker like the ones you see at Dr. offices. It worked great for a while. Then it developed a wobble. Then of course the wobble is all I can hear.

I wish I didn't feel like my husband doesn't understand how extreme it is for me, at times. I know he gets frustrated . . . but that just makes me more hesitant to tell him things, like when I need to move away from him because of his smell, or why I don't want to kiss him.

And my frustration with my kids' noises. I know they're kids, and I try so hard to just let them "be." But my son never stops talking or making noises. And right now he's playing Wii. I'd love to toss the remote right through the tv screen! I have a lot of Mommy guilt for feeling nothing but frustration so much of the time. And then my husband asks if I even like them, because I don't want to be around them. He really doesn't understand, though he tries to. I know he gets frustrated with the situation too . . . but he doesn't get angry with my son for his food allergies, why should he get angry with me for my sensory problems? I'm no more in control of them than my son is his allergies.
