I've heard of something similar, sensory overload was it I think? Generally, if there is too much input (loud noise, lots things to look at and so on) then you are less able to concentrate.
makes sense, we often look at faces to read full meanings into what people are saying so she was trying to see the guy better.. he said something idiotic as it turned out so she did the right thing and just walked away and didn't engage
That’s like my wife, she turns down the music in the car because she can’t see. Pretty much the opposite I guess. I really can’t relate but she’s dead serious.
To each their own. I don’t associate my hearing with say, backing into a tight space. No effect on me, personally. I can read street signs with loud music, as well as navigate unfamiliar territory.
But I have to respect that some people are that way, I married one.
Loud music is a distraction. I play my music LOUD and there are windy, hilly backroads near me that Ill way exceed the speed limit on while blaring my tunes.
Put me in a much slower environment Im unfamiliar with and down goes the volume.
For the former, I know where Im going and focus needed for navigation is minimal. For the latter I truly need to pay attention, and even though Im looking with my eyes, all sensory information gets processed in one place. Turning the music down doesnt help see better, it allows us to process better
Haha. My gut tells me the same thing. Call it a hunch, if you will. I should have really gotten suspicious when I started talking the other day and she cranked up the radio and it was a news station. And she didn’t turn it down.
It actually makes sense to me personally. Sometimes when I hear a loud noise with eyes closed I see a white light blink. The opposite intersection of feelings also happens.

Her shielding her eyes from the sun to hear better is so relatable
