Answer 1

There’s two ways of hearing things…

Your ears are like Mr Potato heads ears. You pop them out and put them on the table in front of you.

Now, you can’t hear as your inputs are gone. But you can still imagine sounds. Your brain can take a memory and loop the signal into the nerves that are where your ears “attach”.

So, you can hear things through your ears, or your brain can send internal signals down the same input pathways… so you hear things that aren’t based on external inputs.
