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?

It could just be the way her body handles extreme over stimulation ... akin to mini seizure of sorts... a small electrical/chemical response in the right spot in the brain... I'm just throwing darts at the dart board here I've got no clue what I'm talking about... I'm not a trained doctor but I do work in a warehouse so...

This actually makes a lot of sense.
