I can. But I can't hear it at all.

I know the equation but "hearing" something in your head sounds.. weird

I've been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I'm all ears.

We reprocess them until they make sense

Yes, I mean I have 10/10 visualisation/internal hearing/etc but the language denotation of "hearing" something that does not enter your auditory nerve is.. odd
