musicians have musical third ear.

[_jimmy_]

I remember reading somewhere that musicians have better hearing in old age than non-musos - should really find that article - but yes I do think my hearing is alot better than my friends and family. We can be out and i'll hear something that my friends wont pick up on until i give them an idea of what theyre listening out for. Ive found that im more sensitive to certain sounds though, such as ceramic plates and kitchenware hitting each other. Working at a cafe has been such a bad thing for me! Even when im not in the kitchen and dishes clash it kind of raises the hairs and stops me dead in my tracks.
