每日口說挑戰【TED-Ed】為什麼總是聽到嗡嗡聲？ (What’s that ringing in your ears? - Marc Fagelson)

Thanks Celine!
=>不負責逐字稿=> 0:36 Have you ever sat alone and heard a constant ringing noise? The video I want to share you today is called,’ What’s that ringing in your ears?’, it’s a TED-ED video, so it might be more difficult to understand since [there’ll be] plenty of medical terms throughout the video in order to explain what exactly causes the ringing in our ears. If you’re interested in the scientific explanation behind this phenomenon, be sure to check out this video. But before you watch the video, let’s get to our sentence of the day. ‘To compensate, your brain devotes more energy to monitoring the hearing pathway’.

所以一切都是腦補的關係啊

☺To compensate, your brain devotes more energy to monitoring the hearing pathway.
為了彌補這部分的缺損，你的大腦會用更多的精力去監視聽覺路徑。
【心得】蚊子的耳邊嗡嗡作響也很讓人抓狂!上週六晚上就整晚沒睡好，被蚊子咬了好幾個包，起床好幾次就是找不到蚊子本蚊，隔天一早沒等5點鬧鐘響就醒，上工整天都精神不濟。(不知道如果在床邊放塊豬血或鴨血，蚊子會不會就改變目標，不再來咬我呢!?> <)
