Wait. *does some research* They checked me for tinnitus SO MANY TIMES. I could tell them when the class next door was watching TV. Or that there was something weird about the electronics in the room (that often would break the next day or so but nobody ELSE put that together). The high pitched noise bothered me so I complained a lot. And they test me for tinnitus. Nobody ever once tested me for ADHD. As an adult I’ve become convinced that I have ADHD and that it explains a lot about me, about my childhood, about everything. I’ll just add this to the ever-increasing pile. It has its own room now.

This would explain a lot for me too, I can hear the power strip near my bed, the kitchen appliances, etc. People think I’m joking, and nothing has ever been found to be wrong with my hearing and the ear specialist I went to said I don’t have tinnitus. This would explain so much.

The experiences you two describe are very common in people with ADHD and/or autism. We don’t filter out sounds like that, while neurotypicals do, so we often hear things they don’t. Electronics are the most common example.

Tinnitus is more a sound that’s always there regardless of where you are or what you’re doing (always the same high pitch is the most common form, though there are other types).

Tinnitus: internal damage to your cochlea, usually from over-exposure to loud sounds, triggering the constant hearing of the pitch that’s connected to the place that’s damaged.

ADHD/autism: sensory sensitivities and the inability to filter the sounds around you, causing you to hear things that others can’t even though they’re real.

For some people, ADHD also has a thing where pure silence has a sound. It’s hard to explain but I call it brain static.

A sunshower or sun shower is a meteorological phenomenon in which rain falls while the sun is shining. A sunshower is usually the result of accompanying winds associated with a rain storm sometimes miles away, blowing the airborne raindrops into an area where there are no clouds. Hence, a sunshower. Sometimes a sunshower is created when a single rain cloud passes overhead, and the Sun’s angle keeps the sunlight from being obstructed by overhead clouds. (Source)

there’s a lot of evidence that the iliad and the odyssey were actually composed by a variety of poets through an oral tradition rather than just by one poet, so what if the homeric texts are actually just a very long game of D&D

Homer, the DM: Your beautiful Patroclus is dead. What do you do? Achilles’ player: I fight everyone. Homer, the DM: You can’t fight everyone. How would you even– Achilles’ player: *rolls a 20* I fight everyone. Homer, the DM: *sighs* Fine. You cut a path through the Trojan army, enemy dead strewn in your wake. Achilles’ player: How many? Homer, the DM: …lots. Enough to clog the friggin’ river with bodies. Achilles’ player: I fight the river. Homer, the DM: You. can. not. fight. the. river. Achilles’ player: *reaches for dice*
