Totally relate. Aged about 30 I lost almost all hearing on one side due to an ear infection. I now find noisy places very disorientating, to the point sometimes

Totally relate. Aged about 30 I lost almost all hearing on one side due to an ear infection. I now find noisy places very disorientating, to the point sometimes that I feel physically unwell.

I have totally normal hearing but I also crave these kind of places. I don’t know why. There’s just something about having to scream at someone to be heard that I find vomit worthy. Even to the point that when coworkers go to a bar that is a yeller I simply and literally just turn right back around and walk out now.

  The noise of modern life is a significant source of stress which is proven to cause serious diseases like heart diseases, diabetes and chronic ilnesses. You can research this further. I’m also avoiding sound consciously after learning these, and I know now that the sense of stress I experience in city center, malls etc. is mostly due to noise. Though crowds and big objects moving at very high speeds very near to you (cars) are also stress-inducing imho. Your subconscious is just warning you that this life with this much sound isn’t healthy at all.

  Same. I hate loud bars. I'm there to enjoy my drink and chat with my friends, not experience sensory overload. I have metal concerts for when I want a lot of noise.

  And that's just fine. Too many people make themselves go to places like that to be "in", even though it goes against what they want or what's best for them. Same with e.g. open offices. But others thrive in environments, and that's fine too. TL;DR, to each their own, but nobody should force the one onto the other, or themselves. I mean yeah, on occasion, exception, compromise, have to have been there to know, that kinda thing.

  Maybe "crave" is not the right word, I'm not able to understand how you can desire something that you find vomit worthy.
