What skill do you develop to avoid the need for a helmet? Is it like a spidey sense, or do you hit yourself in the head so frequently your skull thickens enough to protect your brain from falling objects?

- lapetitejort 2y agoI would like to learn the skill to dodge harmful prolonged sound waves. A technique similar to the safety squint, but with your ears?
- Lanzaa 2y agoThe equivalent of safety squints for your hearing would be conscious control of the tensor tympanic muscle. As with safety squints, I don't think there has been much study on the effectiveness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle
