: I can't hear any sounds when I see these miniscule dots by the zillions.
: As far as I know, they don't make a sound.
: However, I do hear ringing in my ears a lot. In fact, if I concentrate
: on the ringing... I can increase the strength of it. I have done this
: during my meditation to a point the ringing can actually POUND my
: head so hard with its force, it can be alarming.
I also have tinitis. Sometimes, it overwhelms me. I have tried to make some sense of it, but w/o any success. When I meditate I sleep. An entrance into dreamland where I do not contend with the white sound in my head.
Dogs compensate by listening. Since every element has a unique sound, I believe our canine friends can and do distinguish between the multitude of impinging sounds. I bagan to believe this when I observed Rebel, a Customs Service dog, the first one, sniff out canibus sativa L.
The handler first expalined how sealed up in multiple containers the small amount of leaf and seeds were placed into. Like nested lid sealed glass jars. The test placed had been placed into a mail sack for someone other than the handler. Rebel picked the box from among about a hundred taken from the arriving mail.
Sometime later I had the feat repeated for my boss, the Provost Marshall General of the Army. The army now has, among others, drug and explosive sniffers. However, since vibration and frequency are the two secrets of the universe, I believe the dogs actually hear the sound of the sought after ingredient or compound.
When the box Rebel selected was opened and I saw how well the canibus was isolated, and I knew - regardless of how acute the snense of smell may have been - it was impossible for the odor to be detected by even a dog. So, I thought about it and came to the opinion the dog heard the sound of the smell associated with grass.
