Interesting....

When you click the link to see the video, you're supposed to hear "dah dah" while watching, and "ba ba" when not. But if I'm watching, I hear "ga ga". I don't hear "da da" unless I'm trying to hear that. Weird... Hey, reply, say what you hear.

I clicked it and made a point NOT to watch it. I heard a slightly slurred but what seemed a definite "ba ba."

I watched it and immediately got "da da" in my head, and I couldn't think otherwise afterward. I had to read and then watch to really see that his tongue was not doing the necessary motion for "d" in the video.

That's a neat effect, though, and it makes me think even more about the ways we make noises and their subtle differences in sound.

I'm still trying to figure out how my hearing is so sensitive yet sometimes "jumbles" my understanding of speech. I might hear something loudly but not clearly and have to ask someone to repeat what was just said. It's aggravating. My mom has the same (or similar) problem that I do, so it may have been inherited.

About the "jumbling" of understanding... that sounds a lot like Central Auditory Processing Disorder (which I've been diagnosed with). Check out the community info for capd for more info, if you're curious.
