In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores why sound sensitivity is not being dramatic, fragile, or difficult. It may be a sign that your nervous system is already overwhelmed, sensitized, or moving toward a migraine attack. We look at sound sensitivity through both Western neuroscience and Eastern medicine, helping you understand why everyday noise can feel like too much — and what your body may be trying to tell you. You’ll discover: 💡 Why normal sounds can feel intense, painful, or unbearable when you live with migraine 💡 How Western medicine explains sound sensitivity through the migraine brain and nervous system sensitization 💡 How Eastern medicine connects hearing, sound tolerance, and the deeper reserves of the body This episode will help you stop blaming yourself for being “too sensitive” and start seeing sound sensitivity as an important signal from your body. 🎧 New episodes every Monday and Wednesday 🔗 Discover our work on migraineheroes.com References: Ictal and Interictal Phonophobia in Migraine — A Quantitative Controlled Study (Ashkenazi et al., 2009): This study examines sound sensitivity during and between migraine attacks, showing how phonophobia can reflect altered sensory processing in migraine.
