It's useless because when you have this starting a young age it can REALLY screw you up. You start getting flooded with noticing other people's negative reactions around you when you're too young to understand that they're not because of you.

I have always had super sensitive hearing, can hear a train or dog long before anyone else does. It also sucks because people think I'm imagining sounds, like the factory 2 miles away. Add in tinnitus and musical ear disorder from anxiety and it can be debilitating. My husband at least believes me because I will say hear comes a jet or specific type of helicopter (we're on a flight path of hospital and military) and he will go to the window and it shows up. Thought I was going insane for a long time.

Mason, I want to thank you. I now have a name for what is going on with my hearing. Musical ear disorder. I just googled it. I already figured it probably had something to do with my hearing loss and tinnitus, and it looks like I was correct. I could never find anything on the internet but I guess I was putting in the wrong search words

1point

Mason Kronol 1 year ago

I was close to being suicidal when it first happened. It was Christmas and a Diehard marathon was on so my concerned husband blasted it at 6am, made me drink and smoke weed. Not the ideal things for anxiety but at the time we didn't know what it was and it worked so Diehard is not only a Christmas movie to me it's a MES cure. When I was able to see my amazing GP the next week she knew exactly what it was because she had it as a child when she had ear tubes. Unfortunately she had to retire a few months later because of the pandemic and now I'm trying to explain it to new nurses and Drs. Even the ENT I had to see recently had never heard of it. I hope you can control it and get help now that you know what it is.

"Can't choose to not hear things." Same. When there's an annoying sound, someone always tells me to just ignore it. I cannot. It's the worst when I'm in public somewhere, and I can hear every one of the conversations going on around me.

This is a revelation for me to be honest as I never knew anyone else who had this. My hearing is really sharp (my eyesight isn't but swings and roundabouts etc). I always thought though because I found it hard to distinguish individual sounds in really loud environments (like a pub or club) I was imagining it. Now I'm thinking my hearing was being overwhelmed. It's probably why I struggle to sleep as I can hear every tiny noise in my house or even outside my house from a good distance away.

Can't comment on the earplugs but a Migraine mask (with the chill pack inside it) is good for the light and blocks sound to some extent (if you get one that goes over the ears). Add a drop of lavender to the mask and that helps with smells.

omg, I have this! I can be in another room and hear a conversation - both sides - that someone else is having on the phone. They'll come in the room and say, "I just talked to..." and I'll tell them who it was and what they talked about. But if I walk into a room where the tv is too loud, all I'll hear in my head is the equivalent of a fork in a garbage disposal and that's all I can hear, I can't hear anyone trying to talk over the tv and I get really stressed at loud sounds. My husband watches tv SUPER loud and I hate even walking in there when he does. I bought noise cancelling headphones, but they don't work.

I wonder if OP is an auditory person. I am. So if I'm in some restaurant and it's busy and people at tables all around, my mind is following the conversations at all the other tables. Not intentionally eavesdropping, it just happens. But it can also make it harder to focus on the person I'm actually dining with. Also other stuff like the background music. I'm comment on the song being played and the other person hasn't heard any of it. Not sure if it is related but once in a while everything is too loud. To the point I recognize it is me, not everyone around me actually being unreasonably loud. Some days I shop with wireless headphones / music to block the other sounds.

Hey! 1 year ago

There's a button on the equalizer of my radio (can't remember which) that I have to turn down completely otherwise it hurts my ears. I also can't hear right away if someone is talking to me because if I'm doing something, be it cooking or working on something, I'm completely doing it 100% and talk in my head. I use Loop Quiet Noise Reduction Earplugs in our home office because my husband's laptop fan is too noisy when he plays games and I keep a 2nd pair in my purse, mainly when I go to the dentist - it's loud in there with the TV and radio that are both playing. I use Quietbuds Noise Reduction in the bedroom but also in church when we used to go. This latter one has bad reviews (even my husband didn't like them) but I love them.

Yep, I've never been diagnosed, but I've always had a suspicion that I have something like this. Try being a manager with auditory processing disorder in a noisy production facility trying to listen to your team and provide thoughtful direction when you hear everything everywhere all at once haha. My annual hearing tests always come back as the best in the building but people always think I'm hard of hearing because I hear them wrong or ask them to repeat themselves often when alarms go off, bottles are clinking, or other conversations are being had in nearby rooms. Sometimes I'll straight up forget I'm talking to someone because I hear something else that takes my attention away and my mind starts to wander, I'll then say a response to what I heard as if they said it and they look at me like I'm crazy haha

Sounds like a combination of acute hearing with being unable to filter out unimportant sounds. Everybody filters out some 90% or more of what they're hearing. Unless an audiologist has actually detected that these people have acute hearing, they may simply have the latter condition, and simply believe that their hearing is acute because they hear things that others are not hearing, because others are filtering these sounds out.

Like a smooth piece of aluminum foil, then it's all wrinkled, then smooth again. It's dark, but also my eyes aren't open or closed. Sometimes I'll get this memory when I'm falling asleep. I can't think of anything else it could be."

When I was little, I read a book called "The Girl with the Silver Eyes" about a little girl who had telekinesis. It mentioned several times how she would push up her glasses without touching them, which, as a seven-year-old glasses wearer, I thought was really cool - so I set about trying to teach myself how to do it! (This is going somewhere, I promise! LOL!) I would sit and concentrate and concentrate, straining every muscle in my lil head and...gasp! Eventually, over a length of time that I can't remember because it was 40 years ago, I realized I could move my glasses a little bit! I was SO STOKED!! I WAS GONNA BE TELEKINETIC! This, Pandas, is how I taught myself to wiggle my ears!

I cannot carry a tune in a bucket. But, I am super sensitive to certain musical sounds. Either high voices or very low bass, depending on the pitch. I have an actual physical reaction ranging from just a mild tingling on my scalp to full body goose bumps and electric shock-like feelings. Sometimes with heat. Usually, along my entire right side. The intensity of the response depends on the music. It was very disconcerting as a child. It made me feel so ashamed, I never told anyone about it. I remember many times when I tried to hide under my seat as it happened. I made up excuses for trying to crawl under my chair for no reason. I was well into adulthood before I talked about it. Bodies are strange.

I have three : Animals are almost always very calm around me. Skittish horses, rescue dogs, wild deer, you name it. I also tend to be more observant of animal behavior and am able to fairly accurately predict their actions. I have a 85-95% success rate depending on the species I also have an absurdly good sense of smell. It’s a nice ability but it has its disadvantages I can also completely override my senses to make myself sense things that aren’t there. I usually use this to feel a warm rain and the sensation of rocking on a boat as a method of relaxation.

It doesn't happen every time, but when someone is having an issue with their computer, and they call me over, the problem goes away without doing anything. People in my family have said to me, more than once, "Can you come look at this so it stops happening?" I've even had it happen over Zoom calls. It's not entirely useless, and I know comformation bias makes it happen more often in my head than it really does, but it happens more often with me than with other people.

I love it and I have a pretty cool type of skill where I'll just talk to someone and in at least 2 minutes we're already good friends. and when I go up to an animal, like any type of animal carnivores, omnivores, strays, herbivore, house pet, any type and it just loves me.

I have a very very very vivid imagination. I have the ability to trick myself into believing I am experiencing something when I am not. Its like a filter, and I can see every situation that way. It's like I am actually, visually seeing it. It's hard pulling myself back to reality. Sometimes I like to think the reality I experience is just a product of my imagination, and true reality is the things I dream up. Also, it can be unnerving realizing what you see is not what others see, and is not reality, when you think it is. It can be terrifying, bieng able to lie to all of your senses, not just sight, at the same time.

My mom can hear her students swearing or talking about her 20 to 30 feet away in the classroom. She calls them her mom ears. My sister has the ability to display the greatest mother look of all time even though she has never been a mom. I have issues with hyper vigilance mostly based on my hearing so I can hear creepy things that I don't want to hear which is why I have several white noise makers in my room.

I can smell really well. I can smell if gas is left on on the stove, I can smell things going bad before anybody else, I can smell what somebody cooked even if I wasn't in the house but just the smell of their clothes, I can smell animals in a house before they even pop up. I even remember smells very well, so I'm big on perfumes and colognes. My dad says I can smell s**t before people have to s**t lol.

I can "skip time", although I probably won't know what happened. Basically I can zone out, but still be completely functional. Sometimes I remember what happened while I was out, but in third person/like it happened to someone else, sometime it's just a blank space. I sadly can't control it

I can tell if you brain trauma or mental illness just by looking at someone's face ir stand next to them, even with no apparent signs. They feel like a very strong, almost violent river going down a hole; I'll have an image of it as well. Their eyes look different, as though they are coming out of their head a little and the eye has missing. Deep depression feels/looks like their eyes are drowning in their body. Mostly useless because I do not work in social services or the mentally ill. I used to read out to people who were like this to make rhem feel better or help in some way. It's caused too many problems. Other than depression. I use it to stay away from them

I am 40 years old. I still can hear the devices aiming at scaring off weasles and martins and those ... Actually, I am pretty happy that my ears are doing so well for my age - so far, I still have a reason not to give in and accept noise, like mp3, as substitute for music. FLAC is way better, also it's more efficient than Wavesound files, ... so, that's my way to go. Aside the old ones I converted before I had a programm that could convert into FLAC (I threw all my CDs on a HDD to have them all on one remote's call - pretty handy with >30k songs, ...). Anyway, that's about all. I tried to convince myself I was unable to vomit, but I just took a ten year break from actually doing it, then drank spoiled ice tea - just 3 weeks over the date, what would go wrong? Well, that did go wrong... + to the ears again - I never listened to max volume on headphones, restricted myself about that pretty rigid, although I do enjoy loud music ... never tinkered around, never had any injuries, no infections in an age that I would remember today, ... luck and care? Seems, that and genetics.

Not really a superpower, but my dreams have told the future. One time, I dreamed that me, my mom, and my brother were getting out of the car to go to school, and my mom informed my brother that he would have to stay home for a week. The next morning, I woke up, and his whole class had covid. He had to stay home for a week. It’s happened on a smaller scale a few other occasions but I think it’s cool. I can also hear voices when Im super relaxed, as if someone is next to me saying them. That might just be a mental illness thing though lol. But I’ve been told it means I’m intact with my unconscious mind
