I was born at 26 weeks and was in the NICU for 3 months afterwards. The lungs and central nervous system are the last to get their finishing touches done, so when I was born, I was given an antibiotic to prevent my lungs from having problems. However, one of it's side effects is "auditory toxicity". I personally think incubators, which are bright and probably amplify sound to some degree, aren't the best for a CNS that is premature. I think it depends on how premature one was, how long they spent in an incubator, and any other birth factors that came into play.

I was a very calm baby, in and out of the womb, and my personality today is generally very calm. In the end, I also have allergies and eustachian tube dysfunction (aka a tube in my ear).

My dad, who is extremely knowledgeable about acoustics and sound, and I poke fun at an idea that we should invent a new incubator together when I get older.
