I hear lightbulbs and fluorescent lights whistling and buzzing, I've sent numerous monitors back for high pitched whining noises (even though many reviews said they were silent), and other people's computers and laptops, which they describe as 'almost silent' sound like tornado's to me. Compared to most other people, I basically hear everything.
This is me as well. My oldest son once said I could hear blinking lights. Loud restaurants make me want to run away. I have no filters...cross-talk makes me crazy. We had an AIO with a buzzy fan and I gave it to my daughter. Flickering buzzing fluorescent lights will make me leave a store. Not many people in my life understand it. I've always wondered if it would be classified as "hypercussis".

I have bad vision, I'm very nearsighted. I can see very clearly up close, and read without my trifocals when in bed, with my Oasis about 7" from my eyes. The closer it is, the more narrow I like the text column. Tracking text on a tv etc. is difficult and brings on eye muscle twitches.

I'll be 60 next year.
