Have you ever thought about the sounds that fill your daily life? In this episode, I reflect on the high-pitched, nerve-jangling sounds of the ultrasonic scaler during my regular dentist visits and contrast them with the calming hum of polishing tools or flowing water. These observations extend to the everyday world, where even the hum of a refrigerator or the rustling of wind can alternately annoy or soothe us. Join me as I explore how our perception of sound shifts based on context, and how finding joy in listening can bring small yet meaningful moments to our lives.
