Imagining extended auditory range opens perception of unheard frequencies

Evidence

Imagine that your ears have extended range above and below the normal range of 16hz to 20khz. What could you be hearing? — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 337 (#expands, via linked claim)

My own beginning work in Deep Listening practices has been primarily inner work, and as such is not something that I chose to open up to the whole list about, even such a nice list as this one! My experience is that DL—for me Is a way of working. When I really listen in this way I hear differently, in the sense that merely being open to listening changes how I perceive sounds, which in turn changes how I listen, and so on in an ever expansive fashion. This is where discernment comes into play. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 422 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
