My auditory processing is in the 95th percentile, but the tester said that since English is not my first language, this figure is an underestimate. I am not sure she is right, because I have already spent half of my life stateside. Even if the 95th percentile is correct, still it is fair to say that "I am all ears" .

It was so relieving to finally understand why I am so different. Say, Illegal Toilet posted a thread about turn-ons, and I was the only person who mentioned the qualities of a man's voice. It is not the only thing that matters to me, but it matters a lot. A funny story before I get to the serious part - in grad school, I was once sitting in a room with a few folks and a guest speaker. The guest speaker, a young Brit, was Prince Charming, looks-wise. Imagine the handsomest Brit and there you have it. He was silent. I got curious - what kind of voice would Prince Charming possess? Somehow I expected to be amused, and I was - when the picture of good looks opened his mouth and started talking in a shallow, high-pitched, and flat voice, I had a really hard time pretending to listen attentively, while the rating of the Brit's attractiveness in my eyes, ( no ears!), quickly went from 100 to 0.
