Theory #2: In some ways you can 'hear' from your skin


What is hearing? Or the ability to hear? It is just sound waves beating on your ear, causing vibrations that translate into words, music, or gibberish, to us. Sound waves that go to your ear. If you put your computer’s speakers onto your foot, you will still hear it- because the waves just travel around your foot and go to your ears again. Now I will tell you what I mean by “Hearing from your Skin”. Rub your finger on your desk. Apply some pressure so you can’t freely move it around. Move it from side to side, up and down, while pressing down with significant pressure
Here is where it comes. Note: This only works if you are not bold.   
Do the exact same movement onto the center of your head, but slower and more forceful. You “hear” some crunching noises; in fact you can’t really describe what you are listening to. It is because what you are hearing is sound that your skin “hears”. If you dont believe me, plug your ears with anything, and everything, you want. Now try it again. You will hear it again, and even better- because you blocked out the outside noise.
