Microphone Sensitivity
How much you hear. Controls whether you pick up on the quiet signals — tone shifts, what someone didn't say, the things most people miss.
Steve Marsh and the Thank You
Microphone Sensitivity controlled how much Steve Marsh picked up on the subtle signals in Natalie's communication. When Natalie described her decision-making process about whether to engage with the family, Steve heard not just her words but the deeper message about choice, risk, and vulnerability. He tuned in to her emphasis on having agency in the situation, which allowed him to understand what he should really be grateful for - her conscious decision rather than her circumstances as a baby.
