Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for If you are/become very sensitive for sounds what could be the reason/cause?

To hear you need:

• have a functional ear faculty
• a sound to hear
• direct your consciousness to the ear faculty

Assuming you ear is in good condition as you hear well in night. Since you are sensitive at night, and not at day, when things are quiet, is that you are more composed or focused with you attention at the ear to hearing than in day time. During the perhaps with other activities you are also distracted hence attention is not fulling on the sounds you hear.
