Can you figure out the story being conveyed here? How did the story come together (or not) in your mind?

How do the three levels of information interact with each other?

c. EXPERIENCE THE NON-COCHLEAR

This week, listen to the sounds in your world that are not dependent on ears. Take copious notes.

a) Pay attention to sounds that your body is registering, without “hearing” them. List the sounds that are discovered by touch (vibrations), list the sounds that are discovered by sight. (Also try spending an hour each day with your ears blocked)

b) Pay attention to the sounds in your dreams.

c) Watch television with the sound off. What do you hear in your mind’s ear?
