I’ve always wondered. How can I hear my own thoughts audibly Without using my ears?
In: Biology
The answers here are “correct” but complex.
The best way to explain this is that you don’t hear with your ears, your hear with your brain.
You don’t see with your eyes, you see with your brain.
Your ears, and your eyes are just the gloves that catch information. Your ears catch sound waves, and your eyes catch light waves. Your brain then makes them into sounds and pitures.
You don’t always ‘hear’ your own thoughts. Sometimes you ‘see’ them.
Have you ever had a daydream, or visualized yourself doing something?
If you think about your left hand, you will ‘feel’ it.
If you remember grandma’s cooking, sometimes you can ‘smell’ it.
When you hear, or see your thoughts, that’s just your brain working without your gloves catching anything.
