b"The human brain has an incredible capacity for processing information, from sensory data, to casual conversations, to everything we hear and read \\u2014 in fractions of seconds. Not only that, our brains make sense of it all, allowing us to learn, work, form relationships, and navigate the world. On this episode, we take a closer look at how this all works \\u2014 and why it sometimes doesn't. We hear stories about listening instead of reading \\u2014 and test the limits of speed listening; we'll find out why reading comprehension tests in schools may be misguided; and why some people who think they're hard of hearing might actually have a different issue going on."
