1. Although I can't answer your question about any

link between advanced cancer and hearing sensitivity, it could be that her life is so altered, without the distractions of an active life that put sounds in the background, that it's now very much in the forefront.

I have hearing sensitivity and crave quiet. My landlord years ago had some roosters and it drove me nuts, so I sympathize with her actually. I tend to have a 'my rights end where yours begin' sort of philosophy, and noise issues (dogs, roosters, etc) fall into that. But certainly it's a hot button issue.

Is there a possibility you would consider getting rid of your roosters as a gift to her until she passes? There's nothing more important than stress reduction with cancer and end of life issues. Making that gesture, might be a gift for both your spirits.
