Bugün öğrendim ki: Ernest Glen Wever, uyuşturulmuş bir kediyi telefona çevirdi. İşitme sinirini açığa çıkardıktan ve sinirin etrafına bir elektrot sardıktan sonra, kulağına fısıldayabilir ve biri onu 60 fit uzaktaki bir alıcıdan duyabilirdi.
In the first line of Ernest Glen Wever's final book, [The Amphibian Ear](https://www-jstor-org.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/stable/j.ctt7zth8g), Wever describes his subject (pp.3 ): “The name Amphibia literally signifies “both lives” and refers to the proclivity of many of these animals for alternating between aquatic and terrestrial habitats.” Perhaps no other acoustician of the modern era so embodied the amphibian's apparent ease of transition between worlds as Wever, who in the [words of his student Dick Fay,](http://www.ling.fju.edu.tw/hearing/ historical review1930-1.htm) had no less than three careers as a hearing scientist: one in the biomechanical workings of the cochlea, one in the nature of hearing and sensory coding, and one in the evolutionary biology of hearing.
