How Do You Handle Music Triggers?
This is my first Christmas service I'll miss in my lifetime since there will be a live band. Which makes me so furious since I'm a musician and used to play in the band. Now I can't even be around music without going into a seizure. I've been crying each night this past week. To be safe, I have to watch it live via the link on Facebook. I use earplugs, but I can only last 5 minutes max like in a JCP store setting because the background music triggers me. Can't do theatre or movies anymore… read more
I’m so sorry to hear this and my prayers are with you. I have personally never, and pray that I don’t, had this issue. My ❤️ and🙏 are with you. And I hope you have a seizure free holiday season. God bless you 🙏
I have no useful answer for you. I know that overwhelming bass frequencies from those sub-cabinets make me feel really uncomfortable and I can mitigate it a little with earplugs or moving away from it. I am a performing musician myself, and overall, the volume doesn't bother me. I'd definitely discuss it with your epileptologist/neurologist, I'm often surprised that he has useful suggestions about different problems I'm having. Being in the front of the sound system can be overwhelming, as opposed to being behind it, listening to only the monitors. In-ear monitors are volume-controlled. If hearing music at all is the main issue, avoidance seems the only option. I know what it's like to give up performing. It's an unimaginable heartbreak to those who don't know what it's like.
Kris, my I am only triggered by music or other recordings that have binaural beats, it a no fail.
But I've never had music as a trigger, I can't imagine what it is like. You are in my prayers.

I’m one of the lucky ones . Music doesn’t trigger my seizures. Music actually helps slow down my thoughts when trying to sleep
Kris, i’ve never had the issue of music triggering my seizures at all. It’s been more so either for me a bad cold or allergies acting up or something actually going on. To trigger a seizure episode but no, I’ve not had music by me as far as seizures go.
