May I ask where you found this expression? I've never seen "hyperaesthetic" combined with memory. It typically refers to sensations (most often touch) that are overly sensitive.

I have not heard the term "hyperesthetic".. But may be the book "Mind of a mnemonist" by A.R. Luria can be of any help? As far as I remember, this phenomenon was described in the book in connection with "eidetic" memory.
