Summary

Have you heard? In episode 65 of Overthink, Ellie and David continue the series on the five senses as they discuss hearing. From wanting to close your ears to stop overhearing a conversation to the noise pollution outside your bedroom window, how does the sense of hearing make its way into our everyday lives? They also discuss how Deaf culture calls upon us to retool our understanding of the importance of hearing for human life.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Overthink.
0:10.2	The podcast where we discuss big ideas, but ideally in a fun and chill and exciting way.
0:17.6	I'm your co-host, Dr. Ellie Anderson.
0:19.9	And I'm your other co-host and Ellie's trusty friend,
0:23.6	Dr. David Pena-Gusman. Sorry, I laughed at the end. You just laughed. You know, it's all good.
0:30.9	You can laugh at your own name, David. This is the third episode of our series on The Senses,

1:16.7	Yeah, you really do hate those references without books for our listeners. I'm not allowed to
1:21.6	talk about an idea if I cannot locate the book on this podcast. It is the bane of my existence.
1:27.2	You're a lot to talk with your own
1:28.4	ideas. I just don't like it when it's like research shows and we can't cite one to five
1:34.1	ideally studies on the research that is showing that, right? Well, either way, I'm happy that
1:39.0	you're coming over to the dark side and mentioning ideas without having a citation for them, Ellie, I think we're making
