Description

In this episode, we dive into the surprising intelligence behind the shape of your ears. We'll explore how your outer ear — that funny looking thing on the side of your face — is a precisely designed structure that is fine tuned to accentuate sound, and particularly other humans. You’ll learn:

  • How your ears naturally amplify the frequencies of human speech

  • How their unique curves help you pinpoint where sounds are coming from

  • How the design protects your eardrums from damage

If you’ve ever wondered why we’re built the way we are, or how the shape of your ears affects the way you think, behave, and perform — this episode is for you!
