Wow, we hear with our eyes!

I have very acute hearing and heard “fah“ in the first instance. Yes that’s an interesting effect. It’s like all those “you hear what you read” reels you see on Instagram. But it’s understandable when you think about it. Making an F sound with you mouth looks so different to a G sound, hence how lip readers manage. The next question would be, “Is it easier for your ears to manipulate sound than your eyes to manipulate sight?” This example would indicate the former, but I don’t know.
