I responded seriously to balance out those who responded unseriously.

I also balanced it out. After listening to it about 5 times in a row, my brain seems to have figured out how to hear the opposite, but my ears still refuse to hear it.

I'm having a strange issue. When I first launched the game, I could only hear Jenny. Now, when I open it, I can only hear Laurel.

I know how to hear the other sound, but I can't. I clearly hear Yanny, even when I try not to.

I can't hear it, no matter how hard I try. And I can't imagine how it could sound any different, because all the vowels and consonants are clearly audible.

It sounded completely different there. It was pronounced with a kind of squeaky and creaky voice, not the way it should be.

Or rather, not exactly squeaky. I'm not sure how to describe it more accurately. Basically, it was as if someone had sped up the audio recording. And with a hoarseness, yes.

Just noticed a second audio recording on that page. And there, you can clearly hear "Laurel." But in the original, we didn't hear it.

The same thing happened to me as with Ples. At first, I listened to it about twenty times and only heard "Yanny," then I read an article and tried listening with only one ear – since then, my brain is messed up, and I always hear only "Laurel."

So, in the second recording, which I didn't immediately recognize, I clearly hear Laurel. But in the first one, even if you force me to listen through headphones, I hear Yanny.

The first recording is clearly "Yanny."
The second is clearly "Laurel."
I can't even imagine how to hear it any other way.

The method of Ples and Heroist doesn't work for me.
Benjamin Munson, a professor of hearing sciences at the University of Minnesota, suggested that "Yanny" can be heard in higher frequencies while "Laurel" can be heard in lower frequencies.[1] Older people, whose ability to hear higher frequencies is more likely to have degraded, usually hear "Laurel".
I really hear high frequencies well (I can perceive sounds that some people around me don't hear, for example, specific creaks in a car).
The audio clip originated from a recording of Jay Aubrey Jones, an opera singer
This, by the way, explains a lot.

And I didn't even try to block my ears. My auditory perception simply changed, for a while. I don't know why.

You're just crazy.

You're just crazy.
But I'm not the only one who hears them; it's just that not everyone around me can...
However, I don't deny that I'm crazy, but in this case, that's not the issue.
