starstruckmyths:steverogersnotebook:Props to Chris’ acting!Everything was enhanced by the serum, including Steve’s hearing - Steve’s reaction is the most visceral of all the characters’ to the Ultron shriek. This always pains me.Now I’m thinking about how Steve went from deaf in one ear to having enhanced hearing, and all the things that came with it. He can hear everything now; water rattling in the pipes behind the walls, humming of street lights outside his window, the coffee machine gurgling down the hall. When he first got the serum he had to get used to everything. Voices from across the camp, the thunder of bullets miles away, car engines roaring to life. He could hear the nazi soldier in the tree, could hear footsteps sneaking up on them, could hear a motorcycle coming before anyone else could. In the Tower, when he’s quiet, he can hear sounds from other floors seeping though every narrow crevice or any window left open. He gets used to it, his brain accepting that most of these things he’s never heard before like this are just background noise now, but things like Ultron’s shriek are an assault on his ears. Sometimes he’ll say “You hear that?” to his friends, but they don’t. Sometimes he’s worried he’s just hearing things that aren’t there. Places where he used to feel safe and familiar with are suddenly foreign to him, because now there are sounds he never heard there before. If my experience with tinnitus is any guide, 90-95% of the time none of it actually registers at this point. Ditto all the other sensory overload. It’s only when he actually *wants* to hear (or smell, or see, or feel) everything that he actually does. -- source link
