Hey, thanks i appreciate you sharing more about it, what is the ending for you and your son? Say if you just let it happen and let the feeling run its course, you walking down the street without headphones or your son with the air dryer? What would happen?
For me, i get annoyed by the sun through trees, makes feel i loose focus, but the sound of the barbers using their machine shaving my head doesnt affect me, just my own trimmer. I want to leave the trimmer running for 5 minutes and see what it does to me but im worried
My first thought was misophonia as well. Completely harmless. I have it with people chewing, swallowing and objects relentlessly clanking against one another. Its just an annoyance.
Best Wishes
I asked myself one day, "What if I actually don't have cancer? What if I'm not really dying? Then surely I'm alive and should be living."

My son is actually more tolerant now than he was a couple of years ago and I think that's because his anxiety levels have dropped now he's left mainstream education. We notice that as soon as his anxiety shoots up - so does the sensory stuff. But even on a good day, he is overly-sensitive.
Same for me, really, the more anxious I am, the less I can cope with noise of the traffic. It sounds deafening to me - especially when my non-deaf ear is facing the road because it's compensating for the deafness in the left one. The anomaly being that I play loud music through my headphones...
Tone makes a difference to me - greatly. I can shutdown just on the tone of somebody's voice, so maybe something about the sound of your trimmers (some are very harsh) is making you feel anxious? Maybe it's because your brain is making a connection with a similar noise that comes with a bad memory?but the sound of the barbers using their machine shaving my head doesnt affect me, just my own trimmer.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
