There is no reason why SSD will not work on non-somatic cases. Susan has not asked the guinea pigs if they have somatic T.

BrOKeN_1 I swear my wife must be hard of hearing. Her cell volume is always maxed out. The moment she clicks on a video anywhere near I shit myself »

Its normal with mild to moderate T to have some sensitivity to sound. It's almost instinctive to be overly simulated by sound with this condition.
