    I saw them talking about this last night on the FIVE and I very clearly heard "Jerry " or maybe "Harry" every time they played it. It seems to depend on which speaker I hear it from.
    Go figure that.

    I think it's both words at the same time, but at significantly different frequencies. I think anyone who hears "Yanny" still retains more of their high frequency hearing than most of us. The "Laural" is clearly lower frequency and easier for most of us over 35 or so to hear clearly.

    I wear hearing "AIDs". They help a lot but are in no way perfect. They are multi channel covering the full range (supposedly) but sometimes I still cannot tell the difference between hail,fail,sail,nut,but,hut and so on unless I know the subject being discussed.
    Volume is not my problem, enunciation clarity is.

    When someone at work asked, I heard Laurel.

    Then I watched a YouTube video by this music guy, Rick Beato that I like, and I heard only yanny. His young son Dylan has super perfect pitch. When asked what he heard, he said both. Now I here Laurel with a ghostly yammy along with it. I can hear yammy by itself sometimes when bouncing the sound off something.
