auditory

Next to the gallery, David Lampley sells vintage clothes at the Impossible Railroad Trading Post and serves as director of auditory and visual experiences for the hotel.

In that time, I developed some adaptation strategies and began, to a degree I was unaware of, to normalize moving about in a world where my brain got only part of the auditory input that those around me were receiving.

I had been navigating the world for five months with less than half the auditory input I needed.

Rebuilding the connections between the external soundscape and my brain would mean relearning how to process the auditory input that I had been missing, much like how physiotherapy can teach you to reuse a muscle.

Perhaps my shoulder muscles were exhausted, but my entire auditory processing system was reveling in the equivalent of a luxurious Sunday morning sleep-in.
