Do you ever wonder how you remember a tune, or a favourite poem, and can then hum or whistle the tune, or recite word for word the verses from start to finish.
It’s easy to say that ‘I just remember it!’
But the interesting thing is that, for music at least, you have to hear perhaps thousands of sounds, store them somewhere, recall them, and then perform them exactly.
It all has to come into your ears, be analysed, coded and stored in some memory cells. Then on request, this memory bank has to be opened, and the aural information trotted-out in exact order for it to make sense.
Now does that make you respect the ear and auditory system a little more?
It certainly should!
