    I almost jumped out of my skin. My wife talks very loudly and when she is close to me I will jump when she uses her sharp voice. Actually, I react that way to all sharp noises. It is actually an mental ailment called hyperacusis.

      It appears that she doesn’t take into consideration how you perceive her volume, right?

    :(

    Correct. She just says "You should be used to it by now." It doesn't work that way.

    When my nephew comes to visit, he is also a loud talker. Sometimes I have to leave the room when the two of them are chatting. , but he usually apologizes.

    What is "normal," and who gets to set that standard?
