Prior to my health and endurance being absolutely wrecked in the past year, I used to run. Ran as hard as I could through the fields near where I lived until my legs would die, all in the chase for that runner’s high; but when it did hit, it was good. Nowadays I can’t run as much, so I’m still trying to find new outlets, one of which has been messing with my selfhosted setup, another being writing paragraphs on lemmy lol.

Also, certain video game soundtracks evoke feelings of catharsis and calm for me, so there’s also that.

I kind of have the same thing! We have hearing tests at my place of work and the tests show I have above-average hearing, and it does translate outside the tests as well. It’s really nice to be able to hear the intricacies of music for instance.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate to speech, and I often struggle to comprehend what people are saying, and it gets even worse when it’s in something that’s not my native language… It’s like I can hear the sounds people are making, inflection and all, but I can’t quite form what the entire thought is.
