Listening improves when the ear is given stable input.
Listening is a perceptual skill
Short loops provide that stability. The same sound repeats without variation, allowing subtle features to emerge.
Why repetition must be controlled
Instead of chasing meaning, the ear learns structure. Timing becomes clearer. Reduced sounds reveal themselves.
Short loops vs long exposure
This is not memorization. It is adaptation.
Letting the ear adapt
Progress feels quiet, but it is real.
