Thunder in your head? (kbin.social)

A long while back I was hanging out with one of my sisters and she said that she hears thunder in her head when she gets startled.

Me: "Scuse me. What?"
Her: "You know. That thunder you hear when someone startles you."
Me: "Again. What?"
Her: "You don't hear thunder when someone startles you?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Her: "Oh. I thought that happened to everybody."

Is this a thing? Does this happen to anybody else out there? She did struggle with depression for much of her life. Could that have had something to do with it?

Every time my daughter cried as a baby my ears physically contracted internally and made a strange sound. For every, single, breath she cried.

Was bizarre. However, my son a year earlier. Nothing like that at all.

Can confirm I've had the same experience with my daughter. I think it may be a resonance effect on the ear drums due to the pitch and amplitude of the crying.

That's weird. I've never heard of anything like that before.
