Learning by blocking one’s ears.
Many children do this spontaneously for learning their lessons.
By blocking our ears, not only do we cut ourselves off from the noise of our environment but above all we listen to what takes place within ourselves.
At first, what we feel and hear clearly, are the pulsations coming from the heartbeats. Then, we perceive a humming, a whistling or a gentle hissing: the different aspects of the sound of the blood circulation amplified by the cranium. This is phenomenon is the one that we have children listen to by putting a shell against their ear, telling them that they are hearing the noise of the sea. This is the physiological acouphene.
It is possible to combine Acouphenic Mixing and Phosphenic Mixing.

The ABC of Phosphenic Mixing ”.
