My Life In Hell

Despite it's problems the one thing about the old neighborhood and Shepherd Ave. was that it was quiet. So it was a shock when we moved to Borough Park and the noise. That's how I discovered the truth about the new place and the hidden flaws, what it was really like. That's when I discovered that I suffered from hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) so severe that I nearly went nuts. The noise and sounds were so bad that I went from 9 hours of sleep a night to what I get now 5. The irony is that things eventually changed, but because of the severe sleep deprivation my health was severely and permanently effected. It also effected my father, because I couldn't cope with the never ending noise and sounds, I kept my father from having his rest trying to figure out what to do about it, and eventually it took a toll. There was noise because the place was so poorly renovated. I knew sounds and noise bothered me, but until we had the misfortune to come to this wretched place I never knew how bad it was. To be continued.
