I am a mom, & I agree that if you are sensing something, have it checked out. My son has "acute hearing" meaning everything is so much louder to him than anyone around him. So he is sensitive. That's okay, I try to accommodate that about him w/out making a big deal. I taught him to cover his ears an move away from loud things. I want him to be able to help himself if I'm not there.
He has a friend who would freak out, like hysterical, at movies, parties, any time things got too exciting. So, hyper-sensitive is literally just that. Good for you for paying attention! Good luck to you.
