• Sensitive Hearing

Capabilities

Users have ears enhanced to hear with amazing clarity, distance, and even frequencies outside the normal range. User's ears can pick up every single sound, can decipher layer upon layer of differing sounds/conversations, locate the source of noise or pick up a sound from a mile away in a busy city.

Applications

• Accelerated Hearing: hear everything at an accelerated rate.
• Blindsight/Echolocation: by hearing the changes of sound.
• Heartbeat Detection: by sensing heartbeats without placing ears to a person's chest via sounds, echoes, etc.
• Infra-Sound Hearing: ability to hear infra-sounds which are below the normal hearing range since infra-sounds are produced by several natural forces the user is able to sense natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.) Several machines produce these voices as well, so a user could hear when they start malfunctioning.
• Lie Detection: by sensing changes via heartbeat detection, and in strain invoice, etc.
• Parabolic Hearing: ability to focus hearing to a certain area, or filter out everything but the wanted sound. Aural version of Telescopic Vision.
• Ultra Hearing: ability to hear ultrasounds which are above the normal hearing range. These are mostly produced by animals, which gives a notable edge for a hunter.

Levels

• Peak Human Hearing
• Enhanced Hearing
• Supernatural Hearing
• Absolute Hearing

Limitations

• May be more sensitive to loud sounds.
