How sound becomes hearing
We love listening to music at a ridiculous level of detail. But the other day we heard a podcast that made us fundamentally question the accuracy and reliability of our own listening skills. In it they played a familiar melody, \u201cYankee Doodle,\u201d in such a way that we couldn\u2019t recognize it at all. Our brain plays so many auditory tricks on us \u2014 some truly spectacular and unexplainable. In fact that\u2019s the name of the show: Unexplainable. It\u2019s hosted by Noam Hassenfeld, who in addition to being a fantastic reporter, is also a remarkable composer. So today we\u2019re sharing Unexplainable\u2019s episode on hearing. It\u2019s the 1st in a 6 part series called Making Sense. We think you\u2019re going to really dig this one.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
