Can You Train Your Ears to Become More Sensitive?
Is your body perfectly toned? Are your workdays marathons of effortless achievement? Do your relationships proceed from a place of maximal openness/empathy? Have you, through therapy or nootropics, trained your brain away from thoughts of sadness/despair? If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions and frankly I can’t imagine a person who wouldn’t you might be wondering: what’s next? What is left, at this point, to optimize? To which we’d respond: your ears. A finely-tuned pair has tremendous advantages as both practical tool and status symbol. Whether or not it’s even possible to sensitize your ears is another question one which, for this week’s Giz Asks, we’ve posed to a number of audiologists.
