I have Meniere's disease. What you describe happens to me. Loud voices and sounds are distorted and sometimes can be like finger nails on a chalkboard. I think that this could be because...as a result of the Meniere's, I've lost my low range hearing. I especially can't understand what's being said in a noise filled room weather it be sound or voices. I have learned to compensate through lip reading. I didn't realize just how much I was doing this until I went for a hearing test. I was reading the guys lips when he told me to repeat words that he was saying. I was doing O.K. until he figured out what I was doing and covered his mouth. It was down hill from there. There are other symptoms that go along with having this disease and I hope that this is not what you have. There are web sites that you can go to that will explain all that is involved..including the hearing distortions. I hope that I've helped.

Do you hear voices.............

Being able to speak to animals. Because there are some people who can learn really fast (maybe not that fast, but fast enough..:P) and none that can actually speak with animals. \nIn the end, how much knowledge can a person absorb? Could my brain handle it?? \nIf I could send a fly to hear what other people talk, or learn about secret plans, SPY, know the subjects to all exams.. wouldn't it be so totally cool? :))

It might be the lack of thought prior to engaging ones mouth followed by the reflection of what was just actually said.  THINK FIRST!!!

I would guess at something around 85% if not more....\n\ntrouble is a great deal of them could already have a hearing loss and not realise it as it kind of creeps up on you....

I would suggest going to an audiologist.  They have the equipment and knowledge to determine the level of deafness, and might be able to suggest a hearing aid.  I know of someone with 90 percent deafness that has somewhat serviceable hearing by using a hearing aid.

Active listening.  There's a statistic I came across in my speech class: People only LISTEN to 25% of what they HEAR.

Here are some links to deaf community pages where you can ask others with hearing loss, and may get a better response:\nhttp://chat.deaf.com/\nhttp://www.deafnotes.com/\nhttp://www.hiredeaf.com/\n\nGood Luck!

Loss of sense of smell is called "anosmia", so a person with this condition would be "anosmic".\n\nLoss of sense of taste is called "ageusia", so a person with this condition would be "ageusic".\n\nBecause the sense of taste requires the sense of smell, someone with anosmia usually has ageusia, too.

I am hard of hearing. I have a "reverse hearing loss". I have trouble hearing low sounds and when another sound is in the room it causes problems.  So if a guy with a low voice is talking while a radio is playing or even if another sound is in the room ,or he turns away I can't hear him.  I have thought for a long time about getting a hearing aide but was told it was much more expensive than a regular hearing aide for people with a high frequency loss,the more common one.

I would have to say an anosmic. Anosmia is loss of sense of smell, I think...

Perhaps someone is listening to your conversation on your cell phone? LOL. Or an earing problem.?

yes, they can talk, though they sound sort of weird. :-(

It is when you are deprived of one or more of your senses typically blindfolded and the partner tries not to make noise. Some times they also tie the person so he/she can't use their hands (getting stimulation by touch). This makes you more aware of your other senses, specially touch, but also could be smell or taste. \n\nIt is different, not necessarily better or worse, a good experience

I have a student with hearing loss, and I can tell you easily that a day in the life of a hearing impaired person is just like the day in the life of anyone else, except...\n\nAlways sitting up front in class to be able to see the teacher's lips, or watching the sign language interpreter (how would you feel almost always having a grown up hang out right next to you?).\nDifficulty with spelling.\nMissing the cool things that happen behind you because you don't hear the sounds that tell everyone else something cool is happening... and only catching it if you happen to see other people orienting on it.\nMissing out on the true beauty of music, bird song, etc.\nHeightened awareness and appreciation of visual, tactile, and other non-auditory sensory information.\nIncreased impatience from the people around you, who quickly learn to see you as YOU, who then pretty much forget you have hearing loss (after all, it is not something visible), and then get upset when you didn't hear them talking, giving instructions, etc. (teachers, hopefully, are professional enough not to get impatient and to always be concentrating on orienting themselves to face a student with hearing impairments so that he/she can lip read effectively).\n\nIf you really want to know, get earplugs and walk around with them in all day for about a week.

It sounds like you need to go to a Sleep Expert or Psychiatrist/Psychologist to attempt to find your answer.\n\nHere is some information about Sleep Disorders:\n\nWhat is sleep talking? \n\nSleep talking is the utterence of speech or sounds during sleep without awareness of the event. \n\n\nWhat are the symptoms? \n\nSpeech or utterances during sleep episodes are not associated with awareness of talking \nPolysomnography (sleep recording) shows episodes of sleep talking that can occur in any stage of sleep.\n \nIt can be associated with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety disorders\n \nIt can be associated with medical disorders such as febrile illness (fever)\n \nIt can be associated with other sleep disorders such as sleepwalking, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, or REM sleep behavior disorder.\n\n \n\nWhy do some people talk in their sleep? \n\nNobody knows for sure. Children seem to be prone to it, especially if they sleepwalk too. Some people carry on whole conversations, while others just moan and make other sounds. If the frequency of sleep talking is bothering the family and disrupting sleep for others, there are some things you can keep in mind. \n\nMake sure the sleep talker gets plenty of sleep every night, someone who is sleep deprived is more likely to sleep talk.\n \nReduce the stress and anxiety levels \n\nKeep to a regular schedule of going to bed and getting up at the same time \n\nDon't eat a heavy meal right before bedtime \n\nIf an episode occurs, make sure the sleep talker is safe and gently soothe them\n\n\n\nHere is another good link:\n http://sleepdisorders.about.com/od/sleepwalkingandtalkin1/a/walktalk.htm\n\nBest Wishes!
