    If you don’t understand how it feels to need subtitles, try listening to a yanny/laurel video and see if you’re able to hear both.

    For us folks with auditory processing disorders, it’s like the rest of the world hears yanny while we hear laurel. Without subtitles, we are simply incapable of parsing the sound as yanny.

      I heard yammy, not yanny, every time. Which at the end of the video seems to be wrong. I did hear laurel when it was pitched down.

      But that doesn’t really help what I’m saying, because I’m not listening to your speakers in your room with you.
