"I'll be waiting for the train, grocery shopping, or trying to find the room for the next session at a conference, and I keep thinking: What would Matt Murdock make of this? What would come more easily to him? And what wouldn't he be able to detect at all?
"If your own answer to any such question is that he'd simply take care of it by some nondescript sensory voodoo, I suggest you give it a little more thought, a few minutes here and there. Think about what you are sensing and how. What's the stimulus? What's the sense? How would you operate without one or the other? What would you do to get around such complications? What might you hear, smell, and feel if you had heightened senses? Not magical fix-it-all senses, just heightened and able to detect more of what is out there, just beyond our own limits.
"These kinds if questions remind us of what it is to be human, and that there are different ways to be human. We share a common world, but we move through it differently, perceive it differently, and cut slightly different slices from the matter and energy that is out there to support our conscious experience of life on this planet. This is also why Daredevil is the best thought experiment in comics. You just have to be willing to run it. And lean into it fully."

S1E6 when he's scanning the warehouse he's in you the viewer watch Matt focus INTENSELY in order to tel Claire everything in thag building it even drowns her voice out and Matt is still able to respond, I think it's a great rep of the panel I've been posting around

Do you think medical exams would find something "weird" with Matt?
Like Spiderman's blood is a huge thing but I wonder if it's similar for Matt or not at all.
Sorry for this very belated answer!
Personally, I think the most obvious changes would be neurological. I'm sure a scan of his brain would reveal lots of abnormal activity as his brain attempts to deal with such massive amounts of sensory input.
I did a little research into hyperesthesia (which can cause extreme sensory sensitivity), and apparently there are some diagnostic tests you can do for that, but those tests don't appear to be standard. So I think either Matt would have to ask for it or someone would have to know about his senses and try to test them in order for the exam to result in something abnormal.
But I'm like...the furthest thing imaginable from being a doctor or scientist, so this is really just wild speculation on my part!

me trying to explain that my hearing is supersonic even by autistic standards and i can hear conversations from a room away and the tv in the living room and the fridge in the kitchen and the humming of the electricity and i'm fairly certain my tinnitus is not tinnitus caused by hearing loss but some sort of passive sound in a highly industrialized and electronic environment that most other people cannot hear: wdym the silence is quiet

Strutting down the street with my rollator, got my sunglasses and headphones on, I'm listening to Taylor Swift, in my sexy era.
