Hi and welcome - definitely make hem aware of your hearing and neuropathy issues - and ask about carbo. Ask them to cut the mouth area out - they did for me. And I would simply close my eyes and focus on not moving and listening to the music, mind you I'm not claustrophobic and pretty zen about most things - I'd just say mantras etc... They I'll give you Ativan. advocate for yourself in terms of the mouth piece etc... Good luck!
