The Quietest Place on Earth: Orfield Laboratories

[@pabdiary]

I've been in a similar room (I can't remember which university it was) and let me tell you- it is NOT fun. It's actually terrifying because you feel like you've gone deaf- only to realize that you can hear your heartbeat and central nervous system operating. I wouldn't do it again

[@Theomite]

[@destinywilder4523]

It makes sense losing senses cause hallucinations or make your other senses either better or worse in most cases better which makes the silence even worse get me ? Without sound or sight image how it would be especially since you’re used to it you start to hear your heart beat hear things that aren’t there your thoughts to haywire you start to see things that aren’t even there like people who r afraid of the dark when your in your room at night and you’re afraid your senses high-ten and you start to hear things you’ve never heard because you’re so paranoid or see things that aren’t there the imagination is a scary place my friend very scary indeed -I felt like the cliche end of the sentence was called for

[@pure555]

I agree!! I looked up quiet place and this was one of the top places that came up.

[@strangelee4400]

Aural acuisis. Random sounds can be painful. It's horrible. Can't wear earplugs or headphones to sleep. Drugs don't work. Constant lack of sleep. I took a private tour of an old mine about ten years ago. After 30 minutes the guide asked me if I was ok because tears were streaming down my face. It was the best 30 minutes of my life.

[@GetCrazyXD]

Only thing I could compare this to is when I went down into deep caverns & they shut the door. The darkness I experienced was so unreal. You genuinely felt blind. There was zero adjustment for your eyes, zero focus, just blank blackness. This seems interesting

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

I have quite poor vision & less-than-stellar hearing, but due to a happy accident with a Sensory Processing Disorder my sense of smell is incredibly keen* (it's an uncommon kind of neurodivergence called Hyperosmia), & since I suspect the material of those baffles probs trap _scent_ almost as well as they absorb sound, I wonder how my own feeling of deprivation might differ from that of someone with a more normal range of sensory experience. *Enough that those who know me joke that I'm actually a z-tier Marvel mutant. Examples; - I can navigate the streets immediately around my home blindfolded (as I once discovered due to a killer migraine & some bad luck, at midday) bc of the different plants & pet smells, w.in about 200m of my little cul de sac. - When sitting w.in an intimate-conversational distance, w. a person whom I know well, I can generally tell if they're hiding a stressful emotion such a fear or anger (cortisol + adrenaline _reek_ ), or when they're about to come down sick w.in the next day, both just from the way that their personal skin-scent changes: - When visiting others' homes, if I'm in the bathroom or becroom I can usually pick roughly how long ago their towels or bedding, respectively, were last washed, &, w. rather more precision, which of the most common supermarket-brand detergents/fabric-softeners they used; often from the room's doorway. - I know if someone owns an indoor cat from outside the front door. It probs sounds like a superpower, & sometimes it can be very useful (tho I've learned to _keep my mouth shut_ when a close female friend is about to "announce" her pregnancy to me) - such as for advising that something's died in the roof well before it gets bad enough to become A Household Problem, or pinpointing what precise food item has gone bad in the kitchen & exactly where it is - even deeply pleasurable w. favoured scents (specific flowers, perfumes, wines, whiskies, cigars, etc. & some less obvious ones like certain harsh chemicals, e.g. turps & furniture varnish). . Buuuuut it can also be a bit of a curse, as it's something that I can't turn off. It's often awkward (who really wants to know when their friends have had sex in the last hour or so, even tho they've showered? or when a given one has their period, even tho they're hygienic?) + sometimes distressing (figuring out a dear friend who'd been in remission for a long time had just re-started chemo sucked, & the sense of helplessness while waiting for him to be ready to _tell_ me sucked worse), it naturally makes me absolutely paranoid about my _own_ odour, planes + buses + cinemas are a nightmare of overwhelm, & some smells are so unpleasant that it's legit intolerable; for obvious reasons, I stay inside w. the windows firmly shut on my neighbourhood's Bin Day, some otherwise-popular things like jasmine make me nauseous, & some perfectly-hygienic ppl's natural skin-scent is just awful to me. . If you actually read all that, sorry for the novel, lol; since childhood, I've been asked about my hyperosmia often enough by others, IRL - meeting each new neurologist, case studies by students, mutual friends at parties ("Oh, hey, you're the X-Man girl! Is it true that you can [insert Ridiculous Thing Only Dogs/Sharks/Bears/Werewolves Can Do here]?"), etc. - that I guess I'm just too used to reeling off the FAQ by now.😂
