Can you hear better with your mouth open?

  • I don’t remember if I used to sit around with my mouth open before I lost my sight, but maybe I started doing it after I went blind so I could get a tiny little edge in the hearing department. Sconce isn’t really on my side for this one but there are some reports that it might help just a tiny little bit if you keep your mouth open. If nothing else, it does change the WAY in which I hear.

    I often notice my mouth's open when I am intensely listening to something or someone or focusing. I only notice my mouth is open when I start to drool.

    Im an "ear rumbler" - if you are you probably know you are. I can consciously flex a muscle in my ear/jaw area to force my ears to pop. I can also flex it constantly to hear better - it has a weird sound, but it is definitely noticeable. It has to do with changing the shape of those same channels I believe!

  • @arpedular4372
    @arpedular4372 Před měsícem

    I actually think this might be an actual thing, opening the mouth does actually widen the opening of the ear canal (for example, when you yawn to pop your ears, what's actually happening is you're opening your ear canal enough to let pressure equalize) so while I don't hear a difference myself, for a blind individual, it might be enough of a difference to keep their mouth open subconsciously.

    It's actually true you can hear better with your mouth open. It's mainly to do with sound tunnelling. For example, when you hum, try to listen to the TV while opening and closing your mouth while you hum the difference with the tv set will definitely be noticeable at a set levelofvolume.
