Has anyone ever used the term "diminished perceptive filtering?

I just thought of it (or subconsciously picked it up somewhere, I dunno) and I think it makes sense to my experience. I don't believe I necessarily have heightened sensory sensitivity, it's more about not being able to adjust my levels of perception that well. Thoughts?

@shiri Interesting!

That's usually what is talked about I think, but I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to separe the sensory overwhelm part from the processing of "noise"/overlapping signals.

"Central Auditory Processing Disorder" seems relevant to my experience tho.

@neversosimple I think it's less of a "this is a distinctly different condition" and more "sound is so central to our daily lives this is more notable"
