BBB*RAVE Page 3, Panel 1
Have just started making more of BBB*RAVE! This first panel of page three has taken me ages, but I am getting more and more used to using Manga Studio now. =D
Selective Sound Sensitivity
I’ve recently become quite bothered by particular sounds such as eating, tapping and crinkling wrappers. Particularly eating, which is really starting to strain my interpersonal relationships.
What I think I have is Selective/Soft Sound Sensitivity Syndrome (aka SSSS or 4S), sometimes called misophonia.
So I thought I would share some links!
- SoundSensitive.org – from where I am gathering bits and pieces of information to take to the audiology appointment I have in the beginning of February. =)
- Hyperacusis Network (it also has a Message Board) – generally for hyperacusis, a closely related problem, but there are people with misophonia/4S there too.
- Tinnitis & Hyperacusis Centre – a site by Dr Jonathan Hazell and colleagues, a UK-based expert on similar sound problems.
Some useful info
So as I said, I like to have a good rant about road-related matters.
I was having a good rant about this piece of news on Twitter (lines? lines? don’t we just need a lower speed limit?), when another user suggested some interesting theories to me. He works with RoSPA – Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
I have had a good look at the driving section of RoSPA’s website and would recommend it to anyone else interested in road safety. It’s a good thing to be interested in. :3
