If there’s music with lyrics, I can’t think, work or have a conversation, especially if the words are clear… On a Zoom meeting, I can’t process what the other person is saying,” says Georgia Bondy, who has MS.
The 29-year-old, who runs a disability support company, has found she’s increasing sensitive to noise since her diagnosis in 2021, particularly music and the sound of construction. “When you have MS, small stimuli are physically painful; drilling and bashing are especially bad... The pain is like someone screaming or nails on a chalk board. All construction works feels like that to me.”
