Heightened Hearing

It's really strange my hearing which used to be a little off has become super acute. After years of listening to Metallica and Led Zeppelin way too loud on really bad earphones as well as going to the live firing range without earplugs during my Army days, my hearing has always been; "Sorry can you please repeat ah?"

However in the last 2 weeks my hearing has become much more acute and I am starting to hear things more clearly. Nothing escapes me, such that I can even hear a bug walking on the floor! Yes it's bizarre but true. This past week alone I have Baygonned 7 bugs on different occasions two of which I was woken from sleep up by their scurrying!

Another manifestation was when I was on sick duty at home with the wife. She would be asleep in the bedroom while I'd be TVing in the living room. I could hear every time she woke up to go the bathroom or whatever, mind you the living room and the bedroom are not exactly near each other in my longish house.

Finally the things that go bump in the night. You know those things. I am hearing them too. This one is frustrating because I will hear it and say "what was that?" moreover, I am getting startled more easily and by more things much to the amusement of the wife. At least I make her laugh which is always good.

So what going on? I have always had 20/10 vision which is much better than normal vision and now I have hyper hearing. Looking on the bright side of things I think God is renewing my youth.  That would explain the errant pimple last week. Hmmm I think I am on to something. Perhaps I can use my new found powers for good like Superman. So come on Uber Strength what you waiting for, your holding us up.

Have no fear, Super Majimo is here.
