[Conteville]

Drawbacks:
1. Taking the "Keen Hearing" character trait makes the character more susceptible to sound damage and/or receiving ruptured ear from sound damage.

• Shouts have a special effect around the text for characters with Keen Hearing, similar to the Madness Mantra trait (no drawback, just for fluff)
  

2. Taking the "Quiet Person" character trait makes the character have less resistance to the "Silence" status effect or duration of said silence effect is increased.

Justification: If you're able to clearly hear someone with the quiet person trait, it stands to reason that your ears are more sensitive to sound. Similarly, if you have a faint/weak voice, you may have less resistance or have a longer recovery period to regain your voice. Not to mention the roleplaying potential which I feel is self-evident, but may be more immersive with actual mechanical consequences (similar to the "Strict Sleeper" trait for instance).
