The noise alarm noises were the absolute worst, because I was right next to them (obviously), but with the cochlear sound processor any strident, persistent, insistent plethora of noises and alarms usually do amplify and distort several times over, and my scan function which is is the hearing program on the processor (it scans the surroundings I am in for noise/sound and tries to adjust it automatically, but it doesn't do it appropriately, for example in a coffee shop, the irritating, what I perceive as a high pitched screeching noise from the coffee machine causes the processor to dampen all surrounding noise at the moment to virtually zero incoming sound for a good few minutes even after that coffee machine sound ends, but I am sitting a little distance from the coffee machine).
But when I am right on top of the alarm noises, such as the horrendous loud noise alarms in the car, each with a different signifying sound, it is as if my hearing processor cannot deal with it, and the incoming alarm sound is amplified and distorted to an intolerable degree.
I had every setting on the cochlear sound processor turned to as low as it would go when I got in the car, but it was nowhere near enough.
I found someone, a hearing person, online who rented a car like mine but took it back and refused to drive it a moment longer because she said all these safety alerts were a dangerous distraction from driving.
I did go on a chat line to the car firm, but they insisted these were safety features for the safety of the driver. So no help there.
As one wag observed (ahem), either 8 pigs at the table but only one roasted or one swine cast among 8 pearls. @Krystyna23040 great fbg, enjoy Oxburgh Hall. @JohnEGreen surely Faron Young's carb song on youtube was on loop? Y'all make your own kinda music this very day especially Taylor who annoys the whatsit outta Trump. He can't shake it off.
