When I listen to pressure amplitudes surrounding me in my acoustically treated room, I think about the evolutionary marvel of our hearing being able to pick up these atmospheric pressure disturbances. Something that prevented us from getting eaten by large animals as we evolved into humans of the modern age.
I think about why there is no front facing ear on our forehead. Or maybe in the back of our skull. maybe it would prevent us from sleeping comfortably.
How horrible it would be without being able to hear. If you had to choose between your sight or your hearing, which would you choose?
Never take for granted this evolutionary miracle.
