Why would it make up a sound that would keep us up at night?

But it turns out, I found out in reporting this series, that this is actually kind of the tip of the iceberg of the way our brain hears the world.

And it's kind of the dark side of a superpower that allows us to even hear the world to begin with.

The one thing I didn't know until I opened the box the first time is that AG1 actually needs to be refrigerated after it's been opened.

It makes sense.

It's because of the live probiotics and the real whole food sourced ingredients in the package.

And I just like that idea of knowing what I'm drinking is actually doing its job in supporting better gut health because it's alive.

All right, so, tinnitus is your brain constructing a sound when it's not getting the input it expects.

It's your brain editing the world you hear.

And the thing is, what sounds in tinnitus like it might be a problem, it's actually a necessary way that our brain works in order to let us hear anything at all.

So imagine a waveform, right?

If you just look at a waveform, it's just going to be a blob of sound.

But it's got maybe a word in there.

It's got a car honk.

It's got a bird song.

The world is just a big blob of sound.

And somehow our brain can pick out bird song, word, car honk.

And it's because our brain can edit this waveform blob of sound.

And you can actually hear your brain doing this editing in real time.

Yeah.
