That is very interesting..because at one time until recently I was able to hear bats and sometimes feel when silent security systems were on..(my ears would hurt) Now with my rt.ear not working I have a problem with echo location....and find it quite confusing.

We have neurons on both sides of the brain that fire when sounds are made. When you have hearing loss, there is damage to the neural map as they call it. The more profound the loss, the more damage there is to this map.
So that results in not being able to locate where sounds are coming from.
I too can sense sounds that I can't hear.
Research is looking into the premise that our sense of touch...how sensitive our skin is...may be responding to vibrations when a loud noise is produced. They are looking into seeing which parts of the brain respond to sound and touch and think the brain may be combining both senses. Not sure if this explanation is entirely accurate on my part but that's what I came away with and it makes sense to me when you think about bone conduction headphones and bone conduction hearing implants where vibrations play a part.
