Do you trust your ears?

[Phelonious Ponk]

Of course there's integration, not isolaion, of every sense. See how long you can stand on one leg, then close your eyes and repeat the experiment. Then switch legs.

Nothing in our body, muscle, organ, gland, etc. acts alone. We live in a dynamic world constantly experiencing stressors.

Yes. Fortunately no one is manufacturing hearts too weak to drive the legs they're connected to, or feet with an imedance too high for industry-standard legs.

I do trust my ears but how much does your eyes play into that..
Does visual cloud your judgement in what you hear ???

I don't think so. But then, I'm not sure how much I can trust my thinking.

Nah, I'm listening to Classical music right now, and I'm reading your post and looking at my PC's screen, and thinking what I'm going to reply.
My vision (physical eyes) don't have much say in my overall music listening experience/enjoyment right now.

I believe that we can disconnect temporarily our concentration from one sense to the next. ...With practice.
Do you also believe?

Sight dominates sound in music competition judging...

...Dr Tsay said the findings were quite surprising, especially because both trained musicians and those without training had stated that sound was most important for their evaluation.

"Regardless of levels of expertise, we still seem to be led primarily by visual information, even in this domain of music," she said.

..."We must be more mindful of our inclination to depend on visual information at the expense of the content that we actually value as more relevant to our decisions."

I believe that women (in general) have a different 'vision' (viewpoint, perception) on what they hear and see, than men.
...And how their visual sense can affect or not what they hear.

* Women (in very wide majority) don't look at other women like men do, and vice versa.
And same with their hearing; their emotional chords are stricken differently (different emotional level).
