Everything Gets Louder with Motrin, Noise, Sound Oversensitivty

I have this really weird habit. If I am in pain from an ache or a pain I take Motrin. I have learned to take it only when I absolutely need it because it has one very troubling side effect.....everything gets incredibly loud. My normal hypersensitivity to everyday sounds doubles. Frequently, on days where a pain killer is needed, I can be found in a very quiet house or with ear plugs and noise-canceling headphones. Sound becomes very painful.
I learned not to take even one baby aspirin. My body overreacts to it and I turn crabby and rather nasty if I ingest even one small aspirin.
I know there are other remedies on the market. At some point when I am feeling brave enough, maybe I'll try them. Motrin works exceptionally well on my physical pain, it's just that one blaring side effect that I have to try and work with.
