- The podcast “Ways of hearing – Love” by Damon Krukowski talks about how the type of microphones that we use affects the way the other person hears you and receives the feeling or emotion. According to Krukowski “the sound of our voices on the phone has gotten worse with the switch to digital.. cell phones don’t transmit the full range of sound picked up by their mics.” I agree and disagree with this, our cell phone does make our voices sound differently through it however if we are paying close attention to the person on the other side we can still receive their feelings even through the phone. There are even times that I and my friends are on the phone not even talking to each other and doing other things but the thought that they are there can make us feel their presence. I don’t remember how house phones sounded but I do agree that with mics used to sing used to be way better back then, it was a different vibe.
2. ASMR is very relaxing to hear, even more relaxing with headphones on. ASMR is used to improve mood and even pain symptoms through various common triggers such as whispering or crisp sounds. For example, I sometimes use it when I have anxiety, I put my headphones on and watch a 10-minute video on YouTube of ASMR clips. Many people enjoy watching these types of videos and we all can see that by searching on YouTube ASMR and we see that those types of videos have millions of views.

I understand many people enjoy watching these types of videos. However, my reaction is the complete opposite of yours. Instead of AMSR calming me down and helping me feel relaxed, it causes me to get tensed.
