Hey guys. Finally signed up after a year of casual lurking, I can't think of anywhere better to help me figure out the answer to this question.
Prompted by a discussion on another forum, I was wondering if anybody knew of drugs that specifically enhance sound and hearing? Hallucinogens (particularly 2C-E, for me) allow you to dissect music and other auditory stimuli, as well as enhancements like being able to pick out individual sounds in a sound-rich environment that you'd never be able to do normally (e.g. picking out a specific conversation across a relatively crowded room). It's one of my favourite aspects of hallucinogens and one which seems to get overlooked a lot... I've looked through trip reports of threshold hallucinogen doses and not found anything to do with auditory distortion, but whether that's because the effects aren't there or simply aren't focused on or considered important, I can't tell. I'm going to try a threshold dose of 2C-E in the next few days with a view to looking into it myself, but ideally I'd like to know if there's anything that mimics these effects (or different auditory effects) without other strong effects. Easily obtainable or not, recreational or not, it doesn't matter, I'm mostly interested in it as a theoretical thing at the moment.
My second question is, is such a drug even possible? I don't know enough about the auditory system to know what modulation is possible, or if it's possible without other sensory systems being affected too. Maybe someone here does.
Cheers, guys.
