Sounds that trigger seizures???
Sun, 03/20/2005 - 09:26Hi I am new here and recently was diagnosed with having seizures. I dont have the Grandmal seizures, but I have the partial seizures. This is an embarrassing question to ask, but does anyone here think that certain sounds can trigger a seizure? Sometimes the feeling of de javu comes on after I hear a certain word, or maybe sound. I cant ever remember what it is after words.
Also I might be watching tv, or doing nothing and suddenly a word, not even a word sometimes ( more like a made up word ) will pop into my head and it gives me the feeling that a siezure is going to happen. I know this sounds crazy, but if anyone can relate I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Laurie

Sound triggers for me are horrible its more the constant sound that does it to me i hate it. I was studying music and sound production to prepare for a career in music. Now sounds affect me to the point that i had to stop.
