I think Judy is on the right track, but it brings to mind which came first the chicken or the egg. I was talking to my father about schizophrenia and saw some similarities to my own disorder. I think alot of it has to do with our sleep. Sleep acts as a restorative for us, with poor sleep ever little noise can become unbearable. The psychologist that I see has explained it to me that the brain is normally able to filter out background stuff, but for some reason I have difficulty with this. But as Judy pointed out, when this doesn't affect us in a negative annoying manner it can be a positive. Right now I'm enjoying listening to the birds outside and the wind rustling the leaves. Last night I went to sleep hearing a symphony, but to those who could have turned it off there would have been silence, others just the rain, but I heard awhole orchestra.
Yeah, i'm cerifiable ...
