I don't think mine is as acute as this but I can hear the sound of bubbles popping in a can of soda from across the room - while the TV is on. I'm constantly playing a game of "what's making that noise?' and most of the time people think I'm nuts cause they don't hear anything. I can be so distracting. At one point I was convinced it was auditory hallucinations and I was worried I might be losing my mind but I guess it's just really good hearing. Great for eavesdropping, not great for getting to sleep without earplugs!

Me too. My doctors were no help after telling us I have increased hearing, so I stay in noise canceling earbuds 80% of the time.

For my son, who has ASD, the sound of metal on metal (like a fork in a pot, or sharpening a knife) is like nails on a chalkboard.

My mum didn't believe me that I heard our pet hermit crab make clicking/chirping noises. She thought I was full of it (I mean I was a kid with ADHD and a super over-active imagination). Well, as a full-grown adult I can wholeheartedly say that I was indeed correct: https://www.hermitcrabanswers.com/what-does-hermit-crab-chirping-mean/

Omg same! I have the loudest family (5 siblings, 2 dogs, 2 cats), and it's pretty good for the most part... but I hear EVERYTHING

Yeah I wonder if they can't feel temp but they can feel pain from a burn or severe cold? Very interesting and also sad.

OP can't feel ANY temperatures, but I'm sure they can feel a hot pan... *Facepalm*

Did you miss the bit about these being copied from Reddit? You're not talking to them.

My grandma couldn't smell and there are more challenges in every day life than people think. Especially dangerous with food and also if there was any gas installation around.

Leo, I know how your mom feels. The exact same thing (brain tumor -surguries-no sense of smell) happened to me. Hugs

I lost my sense of smell about five years ago. My biggest fear is smoke - I can't smell it. That's scary.

My cousin had a brain injury that affected one side of his brain. As a result he had no sense of taste on exactly half of his tongue - like straight down the middle where the line is. I can't imagine how weird that must have been to only taste food on one side of your mouth! His nephews used to dare him to try really spicy stuff on that side. :)

-ly awsome!

You reckon? I'd never have thought that.

They use a straw according to another comment. I guess it only effects their outside, considering how much of our innards are water.

@Alexi I’m really curious, how does that work with drinking water?

not all of us. some of us are trying to break the beauty standard of hairless legs etc.

I know a girl with this. She has great hair but completely hairless legs and armpits.

Oh my gosh yes lol

It's not fair!

Opposite of mine...both my sister and me, we are loosing hair from last 35 years, now quite bald both of us. My Dad too.. by age of 45 he was bald... .. Lucky you... 😊

Nope. Not in the least.
