I have a similar experience, although it may not be comparable to yours.
I grew up in a very strict household. My parents constantly checked up on me while I was a teenager and that too in a super sneaky way. At first I used to get jumpscared then I gradually became more aware of my surroundings (even through earphones on with music on low volume)
So I can confirm that this works. Its like using subconcious fear to boost sensory input I guess.
