From my exposure to the game through him, FNAF4 basically requires you to crank your volume so you can listen for threats. Because you have to concentrate on the game, I imagine the jumps hit you quite a bit harder.

But yes, I'm pretty sure he exaggerates a bit. He's unnerved by interesting things, too.

He repeadetly explained that he has phobia about manequins and everything resemble the human shape and form but isn't human. That applies to animatronics as well. Games like this really fuelled his phobia meter over 9000 until now.
