Vision, Hearing, Smell, other Senses Heightened?
Fri, 05/28/2010 - 17:46A coassociate and I were talking today and I told him sometimes I wish my Superman-like vision and hearing could be toned down just a bit and my memory improved. By "Superman-like", I mean that I can hear things others find inaudible because they arent very loud, and I can see things clearly very far away.

Anyone else also have exceptional senses?

Hi my name is chase. For the past 3 years I've been having seizures due to severe brain damage, witch I sustained in a car crash. I was in a coma for a few weeks while in recover. When I woke up I had lost my sense touch and most of my hearing.I had to relearn how to read write walk and talk. But ever since then, I've noticed a few oddity's. The first of witch isiI can no longer see colors is all silver and black. I can read a book just fine and watch TV. But the interesting part is, the doctors can't figure out why can see at all, BC the part of my brain that took the most damge was my sensory cortex. I'm leagely blind. But I can still see just fine. I can see in near cave darkness, and my eyes are extremely sensitive to motion and light. Bright lights give me a migraine from hell.
