Auditory acuity suppression
Auditory suppression can be described as feelings of general sound perception becoming distant and muffled. The experience of this effect severely decreases both the volume of the noise and the level of general sound quality which it is perceived in. This results in music and other sounds becoming extremely difficult to comprehend or even pay attention to.
Within dissociatives, both auditory suppression and auditory enhancements are capable of becoming present throughout the trip despite the fact that they are complete opposites. The deciding factor between these two conflicting components seems to be entirely random and completely unpredictable.
