It’s not wired. It’s stupid.
It’s a computer script that either plays one or the other.
Your eyes can see illusions but your ears cannot.
It’s all a hoax.

I have hearing impairment in one ear - if I listen with my good ear, it sounds like Yanny. With my bad ear, I hear Laurel.
It is a very odd phenomenon!

Funny, when I heard that directly on TV and the web I clearly hear “laurel”, and couldn’t believe Mrs. Hugin clearly heard “yanni”. But just now listening to a video of someone playing it on a cell phone, I hear “yanni”. Strange.

“It’s a computer script that either plays one or the other.”

Wrong. People who listen to it at the same time hear different things. I listened to it with Mrs. Hugin from both Fox and online. I heard laurel every time, she heard yanni every time.

Also Kelly Ann says “It’s laurel. But I could deflect and divert to yanni if you need me to.”

I have auditory processing disorder, so I have trouble interpreting certain sounds. To me it sounded like Yanny, but my brain is different anyway.

Fox and Friends just showed a tweet of the word Yanny in fancy script. You look at it harder and it also looks like the word Laurel.. LOL Too much!

It is indeed!
Ya know.. I have tinnitus.. Was wondering if that’s why I hear it differently at different times.

Do a search on audio illusions. You’ll find quite a bit about it.

Thanks, that video is awesome. It shows the president as a regular citizen, not some arrogant elitist.

I agree with the President. :)
