There was a time I could just about make out a dog whistle, I was very
proud of that. never went to a concert incase it hurt my ears, but never
considered the movies being so bad.

The thing is with the cinema is it suckers you too, you sit and think
that it's a movie, therefore there's bound to be a quiet bit, and I
found that I had "rabbit in the headlights" syndrome... I wanted to 
leave several times but for some reason i couldn't.

I find that is true about sensitivity in the mornings, sometimes my
mothers voice sort of makes my inner ear vibrate in a weird way, but
later it's fine.
