It is great to find some kindred spirits on this forum! My husband is even more sensitive to it than I am. His complaints have sometimes brought results, and other times we have had to leave a restaurant because they refuse to turn it down. My youngest son once managed a tiny used book store, comic books, etc. The clients started complaining because it was too quiet! So he brought down his CD player and put on the classics. He thought if he had to listen to music all day it might as well be something HE enjoyed. Luckily, our favorite restaurant plays very good music and it is not loud. Another thing about these doctors clinics. It is mostly old folks in there like me. Why do they think we old folks are enjoying that junk? And we are in there because we do not feel well, right? Silence would be preferable.
