💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction.

A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times.

"Games that were developed 20 years ago still function," #Ondruška said. "Games that were developed three years ago, as it was mentioned before, don't. It's a design decision. It's a #business decision."

We’ve all almost certainly been in a conversation in which the listener busts in as the speaker is finishing their sentence. That’s because our brains are wired to predict how a sentence will end, often resulting in a lightning-fast response. People with some hearing loss rely on this predictive sense even more.

It used to be that is you had a heavy wax buildup in your ears, your doctor or a nurse or PA would clean it out for you.

But starting about ten years ago, that changed. Now they just tell you to buy an ear-cleaning kit with fluid from a pharmacy and do it yourself.

At least, that's how it is in the USA now. I wonder if it's like that in other parts of the world?
