Hey Pandas, What Is Something Your Body Does That You’re Not Sure Anybody Else’s Does? (Closed)

I have this too. I had to get my hearing tested recently because of ear infection that caused temporary hearing loss, and it turned out my baseline hearing as noted in my unaffected ear was so above average that the infected ear wasn't hard of hearing. It was just brought down a notch into the AVERAGE range. I couldn't BELIEVE the difference! And honestly, while having really sharp hearing may sound cool, it isn't terribly fun. I can't go to music concerts, I truly can't bear noisy bars or restaurants, I can HEAR everyone CHEWING, active noise cancelling headphones hurt my ears... and if you're 20 feet away whispering to your friend, "Ew, that girl's shoes are so ugly," well, unfortunately, I HEARD THAT! And I would've rather been peacefully oblivious!

I have the same considerations although all of my senses are heightened, taste, smell, feel etc. I once smelled burning wood, I was the only one in the house who could smell it. Everyone thought I was nuts. Turns out a steak knife with a wooden handle fell onto the dishwasher heating element and was burning

Previous posters might find some interest in searches for "misophonia." I definitely have this condition and it is pretty annoying :)

Mine got "better" when the tinnitus became constant.

Fun fact: OP's avatar actually has 96 stripes but only they can see them all.

Can someone explain this to me I never met someone with this particular gift

Yes, myself as well. I put it to very good use when decorating or selecting clothes. But when I go to paint with watercolors or pastels (hobby), it really slows me down.

same!

Temperature sensitivity. Such a weird thing

Me too!

same thing!!! only it happens if I take a shower

I was going to say something like this. I like being able to look around at the picture as if my eyes are open. If I'm in a dark room, It feels like my eyes are open. Very awesome!

I have that too, I thought it was normal?

I heard that it was just the germs moving on top of your eyes while your eyes are closed

I think something like this occurs to me. When I close my eyes tight, purple does appear, sometimes with hints of green

yes, and the change if i squint harder or less.

I have the same reaction to white noise! Over the years the music I hear has gotten a little louder to the point where I can hear pieces of songs in my head. I wish I was a musician or could somehow translate the notes because sometimes I hear the most amazing and cool songs! Unfortunately sometimes the songs or melodies that I hear are flat or pitchy, which is annoying.

I have this too!!!

Sometimes I want to search around and find what station it is! I will wake up with a sing stuck in my mind, a different one every day. Which station is it?!

I have tinnitus as well. For the past week my auditory hallucination has been the Undertaker's entrance music. Okay, Deadman - enough!

I also have tinnitus. When I go to bed I turn a fan on and I hear what sounds like the tv is on downstairs but it is not on. Freaked me out the first few times it happened.

Some helicopter pilots learn to do this. Can you see out of both of them when you do it?

Tell a law enforcement officer if you are ever pulled over and given a sobriety test. Nystagmus is used by officers in part to determine intoxication.

my brother can do that.

My daughter does it to annoy me

Oh I have that too! I always receive weird looks when I mention it. I think it's something to do with a strong flavour that affects the sinuses like a strong smell when you bite down.

Haha, this works for me as well – and exclusively with chocolate with a high degree of cocoa, such as dark chocolade. I cannot reproduce it by force (simply eating much dark chocolade), but the higher the degree of cocoa, the more likely the sneezing comes. 85% chocolade has high rates of success, but still there is no guarantee. The sneezing does not seem to be bound to any allergy.

I have a ramped-up sense of smell too: I can tell who a hat belongs to by scent. But maybe that is normal 😆

I can touch my ear with my arm behind my back. Loose jointed people have huge problems with hyper-extensions. Best to keep muscles toned and not stress the joints too much, it can cause issues later in life

Same, no clue why happens almost once a day, hurts my chest.

Thanks to google, acid reflux! Hiccup, bile taste, heartburn are the symptoms

same???

My grandpa sneezes anytime he eats. Not just big meals but every time he eats a meal. That's got to be so frustrating.

It happens to me when someone holds a sharp objects near my eyes

Sounds like an inner ear thing, it could be related to crystals in your ear needing realignment, no really, it’s a thing https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319171
