Why are we able to stop using our arms and maje them go limp but we cant stop using our eardrums and stop listening?
In: Biology
It’s an evolutionary thing. Hearing was sometimes the only way of foretelling danger so to switch off your hearing could leave you extremely vulnerable. Natural selection meant that eventually hearing just became effectively impossible to turn off. As for the arms thing, that’s more of a muscle contraction/relaxation so isn’t dependent on things like evolution.
