This is an enlightening article. I’ve had tinnitus and hyperacusis for my entire adult life. I used to be able to live in a reasonably quiet high rise. In fact I started programming remotely full time from home in an urban high rise condominium.
After many life disasters in part related to urban living with these conditions, I have found myself long term homeless and destitute. I tried moving back into a city a few years ago, in a “luxury” building that had poor construction standards, particularly in terms of the sound isolation from neighbors and outside.
If I could go back, I’d place sound isolation at the top of the list of requirements, given my disability. Might have helped to restart software development. Bummer.
Great article.
