I can hear sounds from far away, like vehicles honking down below on the street even when I'm on the 28th floor. Prior to getting H, I enjoyed having my desk by the window because of the lovely view. But now, I've moved my desk along the aisle to escape the incessant sounds of honking.
I can hear the jangling of keys or jewelry on a person even when they're so many feet away from me. The sound isn't particularly loud or painful, but it definitely stands out.
I can hear (or rather, feel) vehicles passing by several streets away from where I live. It's a constant rumble against my ears. In some places, I can also hear/feel the hum and vibration of AC systems.
I can hear the "S" of someone talking even when they're on the other side of our open office. I can't hear the rest of what they're saying, but my ears can make out what seems to be hissing noises.
These all should be background noises, but I can hear them, and I notice them. They get my attention , they distract me, they annoy me.
I can also hear the whistling of the water when I flush the toilet at work. It's like a tinny whine. In general, everything seems higher pitched for me, including music. I can't hear the bass. When I use bigger, high-quality speakers, I still can't hear the bass but I can feel it which is annoying.
How can I desensitize myself against this kind of H?
