Imagine wearing earphones all day, with white noise as the only sound they produce.

Imagine trying to converse or listen to the news or otherwise interact with the auditory world around you.

Fish evolved with hearing, some with three kinds of organ used for this purpose.

How can we suppose unadulterated sound is not important to them? How can we just not care? Our motorboat fun is more important?
