Listen "Selective Hearing: Science or Excuse?"
Episode Synopsis
In a world full of sound, our brains are expert editors — deciding what’s worth hearing and what’s not. This episode of Earvangelism dives into the phenomenon of selective hearing: the fascinating intersection between perception and attention.We’ll explore the neuroscience behind why some sounds capture our attention while others fade into the background. From survival instincts to modern distractions, and from romantic frustration to neural efficiency, selective hearing reveals how finely tuned — and biased — our auditory systems really are. By the end, you might rethink what it truly means to “listen.”
