[verulito]

I have a rare disorder called hyperacusis from a noise trauma, which causes pain from everyday sounds. While I'm thankfully not sensitive to these kinds of sounds, most are and it's quite dangerous to us.

This disease is repetitive stress injury, in that every time you experience pain it lasts for weeks or years even and your sound tolerance goes down. So it is imperative that we never have accidents like those that cars like these can produce.

It can get so bad that you can't tolerate even simple things like the sound of sheets. The other patient in my city is confined to a closet 24/7 with earplugs and earmuffs because his tolerance is so low. He continues to worsen because sounds like these penetrate buildings well.

It is nearly unstudied so there's little hope of getting out of this hole. The least society can do for us is protect us from these assholes so we can hide in closets in peace.
