  • Yes, many of us are very sensitive to sound (auditory sensitivity) althought it varies between individuals like anything else.  There is no measurement you can give.  What other people would consider small sounds startle me.  For instance, I have just returned from the optician, and the clicking of the machine I had to look through kept startling me.

    What "facility" are you talking about?
