I think this might happen to some people - so, either it's good or bad - but, as long as it's not really bad, nothing to consider?
I went to visit my Dad at a long-term care home and in the elevator, I often wear ear plugs - well, when I enter I do. I'm not sure if it's overprotection but, but most of the time I wear them. But, not always. The main sounds are from the beeps from the elevator, the doors closing and people talking. It's not a hospital so you would think it's not that noisy. At the time, the buzzing was bad - the usual high frequency, loud (to me) buzzing - it's been this way for several days. But, today, it was going haywire for almost the entire day. But, I wanted to visit.
This time, I went in and took the plugs off. I went in the elevator - the beeps don't bother me and so far, it's never spiked but I am really worried about a random noise either causing a spike or making things worse. But, at the same time, I'm concerned whether I'm overprotecting, also. Anyway, I go in and the beeps go on as usual. No issue until I get up to the floor and when the elevator is opening, there is a squeak/screech and it's a bit loud so I panic. I am thinking, 'oh no, not again.' I get on the floor and walk through to the entrance of the floor and suddenly, the buzzing stopped....I think it stopped the moment, I went through the elevator on the floor. I can even hear people more (better?) and I had a silly/stupid thought, what if this 'cured' it. But, soon enough, the buzzing returned once I got to his room.
Is this typical? Certain sounds might spike or even stop the buzzing? It was really quiet and I thought I could even hear better but I think it's just because the buzzing momentarily stopped. I don't know how quiet it was as it wasn't completely quiet on the floor - it's 3 in the afternoon or thereabouts. But, I couldn't hear the buzzing at all. I wish it went away for good.
I thought it was strange that I was upset at first, anxious, but instead of a spike or it continuing buzzing, it stopped. Is that due to the frequency of the sound (the elevator made) or what?
Isn't it weird (to me) that we look at random incidents for anything - things improving, worsening, changing etc. etc. - this condition is so debilitating so what others think are just random events they don't even take a second look or consideration at, are big deals for us - at least, for some period of time and then maybe even ongoing.
