you really should expect these kinds of things from me by now lmao
tbh i also thought about the fact that he’s a sniper so obviously his eyesight is important to him and in general but at the same time some part of him KNOWS he won’t have it forever (because he won’t. Around the time between the second Death Star and TFA he loses it for good if he doesn’t die by then). And he learned how to pick up small changes in sound for stake outs and knowing who might be coming up behind him. It isn’t something he thinks about, he just starts knowing ‘oh that’s crawl’ or ‘that’s mereel’ or ‘that’s Alpha 17′ without having to look around. And most people would expect it’s the helmet and its 360* sight but no it’s the sound that’s amplified in his ears.
When his tinnitus gets bad though he’s thrown off because he can’t tell anymore who is coming up behind him but he’s too stubborn to rely on his helmet. So instead he tests ways to feel the vibrations of footsteps.
