I have a sharp sense of hearing, and sometimes it leads to mildly humorous situations. For example, I was at my Grandma's one time with my family and my Grandma was in the room next to us. She started asking questions, and without thinking I replied.
Everyone else look puzzled, so I explained that I was just answering her. Apparently no one was aware that she was in that room, and still thought that she was further down the hall.
My mum often speaks whilst upstairs to people who are downstairs at a regular volume. I'm usually the only one who can hear her from this distance, and I tend to act as a messenger. So I'll be sat downstairs watching TV with a few family members, and I'll hear my mum asking someone for something and I'll inform them of this. We both tend to forget that the people we're talking to probably can't hear us. I'm always doing things like that.
Eavesdropping is usually unintentional, I'll be sat in my room on my bed and listening to a conversation going on in the downstairs kitchen or living room without thinking about it. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult to surprise me. I'll hear people talking excitedly about something they are planning to tell me, and I'm sat there wondering if I should act surprised when they tell me so then I don't take the fun out of it, or if I should just tell them that I already heard.
I remember when I was in school, and someone thought that they were out of earshot and were not so secretly making fun of me with a friend of theirs, I was tempted to suddenly turn around and say "surprise, I can hear you!". At one point their friend remarked "Shh, otherwise she might hear you" and they replied "I don't think so". If I'd done that, they would've looked so shocked.
Occasionally when I'm out for a walk, I'll hear a small sound and might stop to figure out what it is. The last time this happened it turned out to be a piece of birch tree that had peeled off slightly and the wind was making it hit the rest of the tree repeatedly.
I tend to get caught up on details, if I wasn't careful when writing I might spend an entire page describing a singular tree out of an entire forest.
How about you? What's your sense of hearing like?
