If you've ever sung to a child and had them put their fingers in their ears, you can stop feeling offended. It might not be the quality of your vocals but how loud you were singing that caused the reaction. You see, when the ears sense something is dangerous to hearing, it doesn't send out a pain signal--like when you cut your finger. Instead, it sends out that feeling of discomfort. This feeling can take the form of pressure, unease, or even sensitivity to noise. Basically, when you find a sound disturbing it could be because your ears are trying to tell you something.
