By now you've probably heard of the Yanny or Laurel phenomenon.What did you hear? Yanny or Laurel? This question is driving heaps of people INSANE! are you wondering why some people hear yanny, And some hear laurel? Well, It's time to find out. 

The Yanny and Laurel clips are distorted, it contains a lot of high frequency information, more than usual, it turns out that the different speech sounds we hear depend on what frequencies are in those sounds. so some sounds like  aaaaa or mmmm have a lot of low frequency information in them. and sounds like sssss or eeeee have a lot of high frequency information in them. the difference between you hear Yanny  or Laurel is whether you hear a high or low frequency,

some people have trouble hearing high frequencies (like anny) this just means they're getting older or their hearing isn't what it used to be. some causes of having trouble with hearing high frequencies can be , playing the drums without earplugs or earmuffs, going to heaps of rock concerts, using headphones that dont have a good enough quality,  being in an space with too much noise, or even anything that damages your ability of hearing high frequencies.
