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.
Eddie Laughter and the Holocaust Museum
Microphone Sensitivity turned up when Eddie Laughter started picking up on signals she'd never heard before. She began hearing what her mother meant about 'feeling really Jewish in certain places' and understanding family connections that had been background noise. The museum made her sensitive to cultural and historical frequencies that had always been there but she'd never tuned into.
