I feel like I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. My family has music-oriented heritage, and this impacts my abilities to use music as an environment filter. I listen to EVERYTHING! Every string slide and pluck, every gasp for air before singing, every low-bitrate distortion and even editing errors on some songs. It's very distracting to say the least. In the other hand, my father as a musician and physician as well, makes use of this bionic hearing to auscultate his patients with extreme accuracy of diagnosis.
