Enhanced hearing

Enhanced hearing
Dale listens to rap music to drown out other noises.
Originally held by:	Dale Smither
Absorbed by:	Sylar
Ability to:	Hear any sound at any volume

Enhanced hearing is the ability to hear any sound at any volume, even over vast distances.

Characters

• Dale Smither was the first character to display this ability.
• Sylar has stolen this ability.

Limits

Enhanced hearing appears to be a passive ability which is always active, yet controllable. With some concentration, the user can isolate particular sounds.

Dale had at least enough sensitivity to hear a human heartbeat from a few feet away. She had enough practice to detect changes in a person's mood by changes in their heart rate. She claimed to be able to hear every individual footfall of a cockroach.

• 
  Dale is able to hear Sylar's heartbeat change pace.
  (Unexpected)
• 
  At night, Dale hears a noise in her shop.

• 
  After hearing Hiro's heartbeat, Sylar tells him that he recognized it from Isaac's loft.
  (The Hard Part)
• 
  Sylar eavesdrops on Mr. Bennet, Peter, Claire, Matt, and Ted.
  (Landslide)

Memorable Quotes

"I- I-- I thought the headaches at first were gonna kill me. I'd lie awake at night thinking that my head was gonna explode. A cockroach crawling across my neighbor's floor was like a marching band parading through my house."

"I'm sorry. It must be quite a burden."

"A burden? Hell, no. This is the best damn thing that ever happened to me. Well, now that I've learned to control it, I'm like Superman or something. I can hear rain coming from forty miles away. I can even hear someone's moods -- the tiniest changes in a heartbeat. Yours, for instance. It's racing kind of fast. You nervous about something?"

- Dale, Mohinder (Unexpected)
