How do you perceive sound? Can you describe it to me? With some effort, you may be able to report aspects of your perception of sound, but, crucially, your corporeal experience of it is yours only. However, you may perceive sound - through hearing, hearing prostheses, haptic sensations, vision, perceptual hints in the environment, or a combination of them - that experience is difficult, if not impossible to communicate to another person. This is one of the delights of listening, intended here in the broadest meaning of the term.
