But I would do anything to be in the shoes of someone who is deaf. I have a very bad problem with sounds. I cannot be around people at all if they talk. I have something that's supposedly called "Soft Sound Sensitivity." I cannot stand to hear words with the letters P or C. P is the worst sounding letter ever. Here are the words I hate: Pie, Pine, Pioneer, Pile, Alpine, I-Pod, Pay, Pain, Paint, Pan, Apart, Part, Party, Praise, Popular, Pot, Pocket, Pom Pom, DuPont, Progress and I think you all get the idea. There are other words that bother me, but I can't think of them right now. I've had this since I was about 7 years old. I just turned 34 and it's worse than ever. It only gets worse rather than getting better. I can't work due to it, I am on disability. I have attempted suicide a few times in my life due to this. It is making me crazier and it's slowly killing me. I rarely leave the house because I'm afraid someone will try to talk to me or around me. I can't watch TV unless the closed captioning is on and the sound is off. I was misdiagnosed as having hyperacusis, but I don't have that. I am still very suicidal almost every day because of this. I would love to be able to not hear ever again. I'd rather be deaf or dead. I know this sounds weird, but unless you suffer from it, you have no idea how bad it is. I've tried to get help but nothing has worked so far and I doubt it ever will. Because I can't work, I'll probably end up on the streets one day after my mom dies. Unless there's a job where I don't have to be around people at all, then I can't work. It's not "won't" it's "can't."
