* In ''Literature/WarsOfTheRealm'', Drew Carter gains two superpowers, SuperReflexes and SuperSenses, through a laboratory accident. Very useful abilities indeed--except that practically ''every'' sensory input overloads his neurons. He has to wear sunglasses all the time just to keep from getting headaches. This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the audiobooks, where the soundtrack that plays whenever Drew is experiencing an overload is literally called "Sensory Overload."

This is a Zerg Rush, not this trope, which is aimed at overloading someone's eyes, ears, etc.

* Pretty much the point of a MacrossMissileMassacre or a human wave attack. If you throw more missiles/men at a target than it can handle at once, some will get through.

* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Athena had to wear special headphones when she was younger because otherwise, she'd be overwhelmed by all the emotions she hears because of her super-hearing. This is later used against her in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' by the main prosecutor of that game who cruelly cultivates negative emptions in the crowd so as to overload her super hearing with negative emotions. Thankfully, Blackquill is there to snap her out of it.

One strategy for disabling someone without permanently incapacitating them is to debilitate them by overloading their senses. In some cases, an intensely [[EpilepticFlashingLights bright light]] or [[LoudOfWar loud noise]] is just as effective as a TapOnTheHead, and can allow easy capture. If that fails, it's another form of LookBehindYou, without having to actually talk to the opponent.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Mayuri Kurotsuchi weaponizes this in the final moments of his battle with Szayelaporro Granz when the latter rejuvenates himself in Nemu's body, unaware that he's just absorbed a special drug hidden in her. This drug, called the "Superhuman Drug" by Mayuri, heightens a person's senses to superhuman levels, slowing down their sense of time down to a crawl. Since this is an undiluted version of the drug, its effects are even greater, as by this point, Szayelaporro's senses have been heightened to the point that through his perspective, [[FateWorseThanDeath the mere seconds it takes for Mayuri to very slowly stab his hand and chest feel like hundreds of years]]. [[AndIMustScream By the time the tip of Mayuri's sword finally pierces Szayelaporro's heart, he is begging him to hurry up and kill him]].
