I don't know if anybody will find this helpful but uh

It can be hard to understand what people are saying over the phone, especially if you have to deal with phone anxiety and auditory processing difficulties. Since where I work I have to answer the phone to transfer people to the department they want, I've developed a small trick to help me out. If I'm having a hard time understanding what the other person is trying to say I'll tell them "I think the connection is bad and I'm having a hard time understanding you". I've found that this nets me a better response that just saying "what?" Or "can you repeat that?" Because blaming the technology puts it out of my control. They tend to get less angry at me for not being able to understand what they are saying and are much more likely to speak slowly and with better annunciation if they believe something is wrong with the quality of the phone call.

The shards overlap and blend at the edges, creating a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of shifting hues, where no two reflections are the same. The shapes seem to twist and turn, catching the light at different angles, as if part of a fractured mirror that reflects a distorted version of reality. The scene evokes a sense of disorientation, as the boundaries between dimension and perception blur in this surreal and fragmented universe. https://www.artpal.com/Timeles-prints/

Do you hear what I see? How blindness changes how you process the sound of movement

👁️‍🗨️ Fascinating study reveals how blind people excel in auditory motion detection, offering insights into the brain's adaptability. Learn about this groundbreaking research in sensory perception. #AuditoryMotion #BrainScience #SensoryPerception

Ione Fine, University of Washington and Woon Ju Park, University of Washington Almost nothing in the world is still. Toddlers dash across the living room. Cars zip across the street. Motion is one of the most important features in the environment; the ability to predict the movement of objects in the world is often directly related to survival – whether it’s a gazelle detecting the slow creep of…
