Mind's ear

The "mind's ear" is the auditory equivalent of the mind's eye: the ability to voluntarily "hear" sounds in your head—voices, music, environmental sounds—without external input. People with little or no voluntary auditory imagery are sometimes said to have anauralia (a silent mind's ear). The Imagination Index measures auditory imagery as one of the six senses and reports your linear score and percentile score for the Auditory category in your Imagery Profile.
