We would love to have you and all the other adopted folks in this thread over at r/adoption.

I hadn't heard of Marian Anderson before, but I've been listening to a playlist of her songs for half an hour now. Her voice is incredibly unique and beautiful. Thank you!

Lumbee?

I have lived in warm climates all my life and have never seen a snow plow in action. I came here to find out why people might hate the drivers. What I've gathered so far is that people get mad because when the roads are plowed, the snow lands in their driveways. I don't get that. Where else is it supposed to go?

Other than that, why would people hate snow plow drivers?

For those interested by this: Because frequency and time are inversely related, there are big trade-offs involved with calibrating CIs. For example, for a frequency-resolving power of 5 Hz, a 200 ms analysis window is needed. A 25 ms analysis window will yield a frequency resolution of ~40 Hz at best.

The makers of CIs have chosen to capture temporal information really well at the expense of spectral information, which makes it easier for those with CIs to develop normal speech perception (and as a result, speech production), but this means that music may never sound quite normal.

The way the brain is theorized to handle this is really fascinating.
