How Many Listeners Here Listen Mostly With Eyes Closed?


Even at live concerts I am listening with eyes closed about 80% of the time.

I sometimes do.  At moments of extreme pleasure, including the most delicious foods (Savery and sweet), it’s worth concentrating on the sensory stimulus!

Yes!  Almost always at home. Closing my eyes keeps me from “hearing the speakers” with my eyes. The soundstage expands and fills in. Years ago my classical guitar teacher taught me to spend part of a concert not looking at the Performers. This lets you focus exclusively on the music. 

There are times when I have to unwind. I turn on some Bebop @70dbs, lights low and eyes closed.  In an hour I’m anew man.
