Why does listening to people give me a headache?

I feel like I certainly have this problem once in a while – there are however specific topics that are worse than others for me to hear about. Your condition sounds more severe and is more likely about something psychological.

I agree, sounds psychological. Or maybe the frequency of human speech sets something off. I don’t know, I wish I could help out a fellow squid.

Could be psychological, and It could be auditory. The human voice is generally in a certain range, I forget what it is now. Go see an Audiologist, tell him, have your hearing tested. If this is something relatively new, it could be indicative of something serious. Keep us posted!

Does listening to the human voice make you feel tense or nervous? If not, then I see no obvious psychological explanation. That does not mean there is not a more complex psychological explanation. I am a psychologist by training and I suggest you consider seeing one to discuss this problem. It seems to be interfering with your life.

You’re paying close attention to what is being said. Good on ya! Try to relax a little, a few deep breaths.

I used to feel that way many years ago when I smoked pot. It was like anything anyone said was irrelevant. But I don’t have the same reaction anymore, so I don’t know. Take some acid-just kidding.
