I'm the same way.
In middle school, I was sent to the principal's office because I complained to the teacher about a painful noise and the teacher thought I was just being disruptive. There it was determined that the "silent" alarm had gone off.
I also get it when touching some glass surfaces as there's a high-pitched squeak. My parents just accused me of trying to get out of doing the dishes.
Watching the movie 'Baby Driver' was torture. In his attempt to convey to the audience what it was like to live with tinnitus, the director made the film nearly unbearable to people like us.
There's just so many instances where people who can't hear these frequencies ignore the consequences for those that can. And then they disbelieve that anyone's hearing is substantively different than their own.
