This story uses hypersensitivity as proof of his sanity, not madness.
The author uses the stylistic narrator to tell in a precise manner.
The story involves the tension between the narrator’s capacities
for love and hate. Poe’s narrator loves the old man. He is not greedy
for the old man’s wealth, nor vengeful because of any sight. He sees
the eye as completely separate from the man, and as a result, he is
capable of murdering him while maintaining that he loves him. It’s a
contradiction point.
The narrator’s newly heightened sensitivity to sound ultimately
overcomes him, so he confessed to the police that he killed the old
man. In the end, I think, he unwilling or unable to distinguish between
real and imagined sounds.
