We are never without sound. Very few times in our lives are
we met with complete and udder silence. We merely slide the array of constant
sounds to the back of our minds without noticing. As Bela Balazs puts it, “Our
ear, however, is not less sensitive, it is only less educated than our eye.”
The very power of your hearing is immense but our lack of sourcing the noises
and identifying them is where the power of hearing falls subsequent to your
sight. Sounds can completely change your emotions. A loud thud or scream can
pump your blood and adrenaline or a soothing lullaby from a mother can calm us
into a meditative peace. We never fully understand the power of sound until we
close our eyes and truly try to see the world with only our ears.
