ultrasonics, ow!

Gaa, I have a headache now.

 

You are a dog

Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human. The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz

Take the mosquito ringtones hearing test

I'm always the one hearing computer monitors or television sets with the mute on, and this confirms it. Fluorescent lights do the same thing, only to a lesser extent--they must have some type of sound that they project, and it's probably on an extremely high frequency if it has a lesser effect. It gets wicked annoying after a while though.

Yikes. After listening to ringing like that for a period of time, I start seeing what I am now... that is electric blue futuristic spots in front of my closed eyes. Oy. Synaesthesia+a blind person's hearing=a very interesting blending of sight, sound and general perception.

Great, now my senses are all screwy. It'll resolve in a bit, but until it does, I'm seeing and hearing future blue.

Well, your acute hearing is hardly surprising, is it? :)

*blush* blind girl's trade secret, or something. :) It gets to the point with some of those high-frequency tones that it's just as much visual as it is audio for me, or at least that's how I interpret it. On that last tone, it *was* a visual thing more than an audio. My brain interprets things oddly anyway. More proof, I guess. :)

ouch!

After your description, I believe I shall skip taking that quiz. Granted I can't see spots or anything, but I do know that I can hear high sounds that most people can't, and you're right, it is *quite annoying.
BTW, you coming to the party next week? I hope to see you there. Laters,

There's a party next week? This is the first I've heard about it. What's going to happen? And if I can possibly be there, I will.

Yep, the evening of the fourth, at Beth's. She says she called you and left a message, but you didn't call her back. lol Anyway, I really hope you can make it. Laters,
