Little Anecdote
Hearing music in the morning, but it wasn’t really
there. It was confusing, and it was really weird, but in

Emotion and Musik
Has a song every brought you to tears? Ever been in a
conversation that enraged you? Could you imagine
being deaf? Is this all bullsh*t?
We are very attached to our sense of hearing and life
without it would be hard. (imagine hearing ears dogs
for the deaf)
Anywhoozle, my strong emotion in what I hear tells
me its true.
Instinct
Hearing is connected with instinct in humans and
almost all the animals. We hear a sudden sound and
we are startled. It is a form of protection that evolved
in us. The deaf humans couldn’t pass on their deaf
traits, because they kept being eaten by dinosaurs
they couldn’t hear.
Logic and SCIENCE!!!!11!
Its scientifically proven that we can hear! Sound is
vibrations of air that are picked up in our eardrum
and it transmitted from to our brains with magically
nerves in the inner ear.
