This week we're focusing on you, our listeners, as we investigate how you make sense of what you hear.
Professor Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist at University College London, tells us how our brains sift the things we hear to extract the important bits.
She also reveals some tantalising work on why the brain structures of people who listen for a living are a little different from those of the rest of us.
Roland Schaette from the Ear Institute at University College London gives us a personal insight into what happens when your brain starts generating its own sounds. He reveals what it's like to study – and have – tinnitus.
You can find out more about tinnitus at the British Tinnitus Association.
