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!

Thanks everyone

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.

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
