They allow you to attenuate sound from a specific source by tightening up. Some people have injured the bones and can't do that so they have difficulty localizing sound.
Loud noise can damage them.
The reproductive tract has nothing comparable. Your analogy fails.
Do you have any idea how many factors all have to come together for conception to occur?
After we lost our first child we spent some time trying to conceive again. After you read what all is involved and how many things can go wrong, you realize that conception and pregnancy are miracles of life every time they happen.
I don’t know everything; none of us does. But I do know that small changes can have huge impact when all the details are so intricate and interconnected. And doctors instinctively know this even just from anecdotal evidence they see every day. I’ve mentioned elsewhere how many people try for years to conceive and as soon as they give up and make plans to adopt they conceive. Did stress somehow impact their fertility? I’ve read in several different books on conception, pregnancy, and women’s health about how a woman wanting too desperately to either become pregnant or not become pregnant can impact both her sexual response and her fertility. It’s all connected.
I think when we automatically shoot down a scientific claim because it is politically incorrect - and then banish the speaker to outer hell because of it - we stifle the pursuit of truth and dumb down both our society and its dialogue. And that can only hurt us in the long run.
The body can do amazing things. There are stories about military people in combat situations who can do unbelievable things. That’s the power of the fight-or-flight chemicals. When your body is in the red zone - fully engaged against an enemy - only the Lord knows what your body can and can’t do. Can adrenaline alter the bones in the inner ear to prevent hearing damage from a war zone? Well..... how many soldiers come back deaf? I don’t think I’d be too quick to say what is possible and what isn’t.
No, it's even more subject to variations in hormone levels, like adrenaline and cortisol.
if anything, the greater complexity of the reproductive process would lead me to believe it's more greatly affected by external stimuli.
And anyway, auditory exclusion is mainly effected by swelling of the ear canal itself.
I know you like to present yourself as the expert of so many things, but just because you say it doesn't make it so, and nothing you just posted was the least bit compelling or informative to me.
