    Both. My wife is the super genius but sensitive to light, sound and smell. She wear special glasses, age has taken the edge off her sensitive hearing, and COVID-19 practically deleted her sense of smell. She’s never been happier. Her new favorite thing to do is walk around theme parks because the sounds and smells no longer bother her.

        100%. She’s lost a ton of weight and is as skinny today as when we met 30 years ago. She says she just doesn’t really enjoy food any more and she can eat super spicy now. She’s turned into one of those suited guys from Fringe where they put on a ton of hit sauce on everything because they couldn’t taste anything otherwise.
