Carried: Ear Episodic Hearing Difficulty (Right)

There's too much coming at me, so I've started shutting the world's noise out to survive it.

It shows up as an overload response, a withdrawing from the flood of the world's inputs because there is simply too much coming in to take. The shutting-out is genuine relief from an overwhelm; it also seals the person off from what they'd want to let in. What it asks for is to reduce the flood to a bearable stream rather than close the gate entirely.

The Archetypal Form

Saint Anthony, who withdrew to the desert to escape a world whose clamour and assault he could no longer take in, sealing himself against the flood. The form implies a task: to let a measured amount of the world back through the gate.
