Yanni or Laurel?

I can only hear Laurel.  

Yes, our ability to hear correctly can be misleading at times.

A man in the hospital had just come back from a procedure and was still under the effects of medication. Somewhat slurring his speech he asked the nurse, "Are my test results back?" She pulled back the top sheet and started moving his private parts in all different directions and said, "No, Mr. Jones, your testicles are not black."

That’s not the issue here at all with the Laurel vs. Yanni question. In this instance, different people listening to the same thing hear consistently different results. Some hear "Laurel," others "Yanni." That there could be such discrepancy isn’t a question of our hearing being misled, but rather proves that two people exposed to the same sound can hear two very different things. I think that raises significant questions about our hobby, how valid listening tests should be conducted and even whether a scientifically valid listening test is even possible.

Listen for yourself.
