Synesthetes - Sound-Color & Crossmodal Responses to Hearing

Request for a book about the sense of hearing Hello everyone, I am a German writer currently working on a narrative nonfiction book about hearing: music, voice, noise, silence, listening, hearing loss, medical research, and the many ways in which sound connects us to the world. I also have a personal reason for writing this book: I have lived with a hearing impairment for about seventeen years and no longer hear certain high frequencies, such as some birds, cicadas, beeps, and the upper layers of music. For one chapter, I would love to speak with people who have synesthesia, especially forms in which sounds, voices, music, speech, letters, numbers, or time are connected with colors, shapes, space, movement, or bodily sensations. I do not want to present synesthesia as a curiosity or spectacle. I am interested in it as a serious form of human perception, one that may reveal how differently people experience sound, language, music, and the world The conversation could be by Zoom or phone. If anyone here would be open to speaking with me, I would be very grateful. You can contact me by message. Friederike
