Problems Going to Certain Places

[Deathtotinni]

So I have a problem going to the gym where there are many loud and unexpected sounds but not a bar.

My hyperacusis has all but gone away but sometimes I feel drained going somewhere loud.

I did suffer a head injury a year ago but I'm starting think it's my hearing that is causing me to feel this way because I don't have any measurable defects. Just anxiety in certain loud environments.

I have a 40 dB loss at 4000hz. I feel like its hard to be certain places because I can't hear as well...is that common?

My sensitivity to sound is all but gone... now it's just anxiety.

gyms can be loud when musics adds to weights being slammed down too hard..no other options than wearing good large earmuffs or suffer the consequences

If unexpected sounds are really loud (and thus dangerous) and happen frequently in your gym, you could wear earplugs, they will provide you peace of mind.
I know it's not comfortable to do exercise with plugs but it's better than being constantly on the lookout.
