There are people who can hear spiders walk? Is that even possible?

Now I'm creeped out. I remember reading some horror story about some guy who could hear a really big spider running across his room years ago. I guess you can hear spiders walk if you hear well enough.

Yes, I did asked my sons... They said yes... but they said that the animals can hear shape than humans... Interesting... My sons also said that it's beautiful sounds when the spider walk or "voice"... It's not just spiders, but insects as well...

They can hear the spiders walk... They described the sound to my hubby... they like to watch spiders's movement - walk on the table... I think we should let hearing posters to answer our posts here... and will happy to describe the sound of spiders and insects...


My sons said that sometimes they don't like the sounds especially flies.

Yeah, I will ask my husband who is hearing if he can hear spiders walk. We have quite a few big hairy ones here in Australia.

I agree that the buzzing of flies is annoying and yes we have a lot of flies in Australia too.

Oh, I do need to add somthing else to my annoyances list:

4. Listening to my husband grind his teeth yeuch!

R2 Im gonna have to kill you for that! I am totally and utterly terrified of spiders and now you had to go and embed that in my brain! Now everytime I come to look at my thread I have to see that?!

Oh no! I feel sooo bad now! If you want to get me back you can post a photo of a mouse

PS I asked my husband tonight if he could hear spiders walk and he said "no". I guess some hearing people must have very sensitive hearing and I guess you can understand why Liebling's friend was disappointed if his hearing was that good originally. It would be expecting too much of a CI to be able to hear that, I think.

[moonflower]

oh my hearing spiders walk eeeeekkkk hate to think of hearing that and you, R2 GRR i will kill this spider you just posted as photo for anyone here who HATES spiders.

WHAMP it goes the spider.

annoying thing if CI get broken but hope not

Interesting, I asked my co-worker today. She said that she can hear spiders walk and voice... she can't stand it... It got her It doesn't bother my boys because my cats like to catch and then eat spiders...

Yes my co-worker said that the some hearing person have very senstive hearing, not all hearing people who can hear the spider walks... interesting...

A guy with a CI, my hubby met said that the sound of spider walk is too different as his original hearing and "metal" hearing...

LOL no! He's more scared of spiders than me! That reminds me...WARNING scary spider story ahead.....when we built our house a few years ago, we didn't yet have the key to our new mail box out the front, so it was locked. So, when I came home from work each day I used to put my hand through the opening at the front and feel around for mail and pull it out that way. When we finally did get the key a week or so later, I opened it up and discovered a couple of red back spiders in there who had made it their home. They are small but are one of the most poisonous spiders in the world. I learned my lesson.

Fair enough. I suppose I compare against what I previously heard with hearing aids while the CI user your husband met compared it against his sensitive natural hearing. What sounds good to me sounds bad to him. It shows that "hearing" is very relative and the benefit is very much user perceived.

LMAO R2 if I knew how I would post a pic of a mouse for ya! hehehe. My hubby owns rats and his one rat had babies, maybe I can post pics of those later? hehe

Unfortunately, his mommy rat died a few days ago, she somehow found a way of getting out of her large aquarium and jumped on the bed and while trying to jump off the bed she hit the bed frame and well you can imagine from there.

So now we have built them another cage making it impossible for them to get out but still able for us to get in and feed and water them and remove them to the aquarium for changing the bedding. Felt so bad for that mommy rat though.

LOL R2 about your hubby, I never could understand how you Aussie's could live over there with all those poisonous things. And to think if you had just stuck your hand in that mailbox, you would have definitely needed medical help ASAP.

While to most people spiders are not to be feared, in my opinion they need to be at least respected. Because yeah, something that little can do a whole lot of damage.

LOL, this thread needs to get back on topic. Otherwise we need to create a spider thread. HEHE

LMAO!!

But the spiders are VERY beneficial - I am scared of them too, but I love them! I had two, even three huge garden spiders on my patio - the brownish greyish with a delicate white "cross" on the back - and gosh, how many flies did they caught! and many smaller other spiders variety kept my garden clean form pests ( and so did the wasps)

not to mention that the poison some spiders produce are showing promise at being made into painkiller a lot - A LOT more powerful than morphine yet not addictive!
which should be interesting to anyone who lives with chronic pain..

ughh no problem Fuzzy this topic went off topic quite a few posts ago. But as for them being around me no thanks! When one truly suffers from Arachnophobia even the tiniest spider sets off your fear.


Srsoars I fully agree about wondering off into your own little world. There are times when I get so engrossed into listening to something I forget completely about making sure I register other sounds. *such as my daughter calling me*. But I think this may be true for the hearing population as well and just is more noticeable among us CI users?

The biggest annoyance I have had with my CI so far is getting it caught in my hair which happen almost all the time with my long thick hair.
