Have your sensory issues gotten better, worse, or stayed the same as you age? (piefed.social)

To those of you with sensory issues (I believe this is pretty common, right?) have you noticed them changing as you grow older? Have they gotten easier to handle, harder, or stayed the same? In fact, if you feel like "going there" and sharing - please feel free to even express what they feel like.

No need to share what they are, if you don't feel like it. Share what you'd like.

The older I get, the more loud noises bother me. That might be normal though? Hearing loss is pretty common among the elders in my family. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That doesn’t make sense to me lol. Wouldn’t hearing loss make loud noises less bothersome?
