I avoid most of them! But as Lagoon indicates, earplugs are a must, especially for events and venues!

I have super sensitive hearing, so while I can hear the faintest of noises, it also means loud noises are overwhelming and painful.

Ha! I read the following Science new article just today about how Purple Only Exists In Our Brains. It’s written for a younger audience (I think), but it lays out how our sight works, and how our brains trick us into seeing purple (a red-blue colour, as opposed to violet).

Poor shrimpos, no purple for them, I bet.
