They hear in colors. Don't wonder how it is possible because researchers at the University of Cambridge have not yet found the functioning of the so-called Sinaestesia. On the contrary, they have stated that this strange hearing capacity is more common than expected. One in 2,000 people detects sound in colors. Sinaestesia is the situation in which feelings are mixed.

Although it has so far been considered to occur in exceptional cases, we have known that belief has been semi-corrupt. According to Cambridge researchers, the Synesthetics perceive sounds as colors. However, they only confuse hearing and vision and it has been confirmed that the functioning of the rest of the senses is correct. According to these studies, Sinaestesia is a capacity that is transmitted from generation to generation.
