10 Reasons Having Certain Superpowers Would Actually Be Awful

5. Constant Noise (Super Hearing)

This would be torture. Hearing is something that you can't turn off. In fiction, when superheroes have super hearing, they use it to selectively hear the cries for help of the innocent victims of criminals and supervillains - but that simply wouldn't be possible. You can hear everything within your hearing's range and if that range extends far and wide thanks to your super-senses, you're going to be able to hear every single noise within that range... and that would become excruciating very quick. You wouldn't be able to understand what your friends were saying to you, you would never be able to get to sleep and the idea of hearing a cry for help a mile away when you're in a busy place is just ridiculous. It's never going to happen.
