I struggle with hyperacuity all the time to some degree was and badly when my moods cycle. Last time I was in the hospital my roommate called it my spidey-sense amazed at what I could hear from other rooms, the nurses station, etc.

Just last week I was bothered by something in my therapists' office. we couldn't figure out what for a while and then he remembered he had a new clock. So he walked over and picked it up and if he held it right on his ear he could hear it while I was hating it for being so loud clear across the room.

And this afternoon a child playing with a wind-up toy in the waiting room at my pdoc's nearly made me cry in agony.

It is not my favorite symptom.
