It seems to me, if it's possible that I can greatly improve my eyesite to a sharp, perfect 20/20, almost x-ray vision simply by squinting, then shouldn't I also be able to at least somehow heighten my sense of smell by distorting my nostrils? Hey, it's the same principles involved. Believe me, I've tried for years and it doesn't work... I'd love to be able to sniff out drugs or bombs like a dog. Who wouldn't? But, no matter how much I flair my nostrils, the only thing I've gotten so far is a deviated septum and nasal polyps. (Although on one particularly good day, I could smell the neighbors barbecuing... three houses away!)... As for improved hearing, simply cupping your hands behind your ears and saying "Huh?" real loud seems to work for my Dad...
